Homemade Crispy Crackers Recipes

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the first 7 ingredients; cut in butter until crumbly. Stir in cheese. Gradually add water and vinegar, tossing with a fork until dough forms a ball. Wrap securely in waxed paper and refrigerate for 1 hour or until firm., Divide into 6 portions. On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion into an 8-in. circle. Cut into 8 wedges and place on greased baking sheets., Bake at 375° for 17-20 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Cool on wire racks. Store in an airtight container.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 375 Degrees Combine both flours, baking powder, sift then add shortening in a mixer. Using your dough hook blend (a lot like pie dough)
• 2. Once mixed, add milk and blend well forming a dough.
• 3. Form a long tube and split it into four separate sections.
• 4. Roll one section of the dough into a rectangle. square off the sides with a knife. Using a pizza cutter or pastry roller, roll over the dough not any thicker then 1/8 inch. (can be thinner)
• 5. Cut into desired squares, I used a pastry roller to help mark the dough then cut into equal squares using a pizza roller at first but ended up just doing it by hand.
• 6. After your squares are cut poke holes in them using a wooden skewer (the blunt end). Place on a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
• 7. Coat each square using a pastry brush with olive oil. Sprinkle with kosher salt (desired amount to your liking. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until lightly browned. I use a gas oven so this time may be very different for you.
• 8. I made several flavors and the ones we liked best were the Fresh Herb cracker. I chopped Parsley, sage, rosemary and oregano, mixed in one of the dough sections then rolled it out. Coated them with the olive oil and sprinkled with Kosher salt. After they were finished baking I took a Garlic clove and lightly rubbed the bottom side of added flavor!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350˚F (180˚C).
• Using a hand mixer or standing mixer, combine cheese, butter, and salt in a large bowl.
• Once combined, mix in the flour and add the ice water one tablespoon at a time.
• The dough should hold together but crumble apart if you break it up in your hand. If it seems too dry, add a little more ice water.
• Separate dough into two halves and pack together into discs. Wrap in parchment paper and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
• Roll out dough to ⅛ of an inch (½ cm), pinching the cracks on the ends.
• Cut into 1 inch x 1 inch (2 ½ x 2 ½ cm) squares and pierce a hole in the middle of each square for ventilation during baking.
• Place the separated crackers on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
• Bake for 13 minutes, or until golden brown.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside.
• Add the 2 cups flour, the Parmesan and kosher salt to a food processor, and pulse until the cheese is finely chopped and the mixture is evenly combined. Add the butter and pulse until it's evenly dispersed and the dough looks like coarse cornmeal. Add 1/2 cup of the heavy cream, then continue to pulse and add more cream, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the mixture forms a ball but is not sticky.
• Transfer the dough to a clean work surface that's lightly dusted with more flour. Shape into a disk, then cut into 4 equal pieces. Use a rolling pin to roll out each piece of dough into a very thin sheet, about 1/8 inch thick. Transfer 2 sheets of dough to each of the prepared baking sheets.
• Whisk the egg with 1 teaspoon water in a small bowl until combined, then brush on top of each sheet of dough.
• For the plain butter flavor: Sprinkle a generous pinch of flaky sea salt over one sheet.
• For the "everything" flavor: Sprinkle the everything seasoning over another sheet of dough.
• For the Parmesan-black pepper flavor: Sprinkle the Parmesan, several grinds of coarse black pepper and a pinch of flaky sea salt over the third sheet of dough.
• For the dried fig and rosemary flavor: Sprinkle the figs, rosemary leaves and a pinch of flaky sea salt over the fourth and final sheet of dough.
• Use a pizza cutter, fluted pastry cutter or 2-inch cookie cutters to cut out the crackers into desired shapes. (If using a cookie cutter, you can discard the scraps or leave those on the baking sheet and bake as well). Spread the shapes out slightly on the baking sheets.
• Bake until the crackers are golden brown all over and crisp, rotating the baking sheets from top to bottom halfway through, 14 to 18 minutes. Let cool completely, then serve. These crackers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Steps:

• Put the white flour, wheat flour, salt, and cold butter in food processor.
• Process well.
• Blend in the cold water.
• Mixture should be crumbly, yet hold its shape when pressed together.
• If too dry, add a little more water.
• Gather mixture into a ball.
• Roll out on lightly floured surface, to 1/8- or 1/4-inch thickness (Note: seeds, such as sesame, flax, or poppy, can be rolled into the dough at this point).
• Cut dough into desired shape.
• Place unbaked crackers onto greased cookie sheet.
• Prick tops with fork, then wet tops with a little water (The water makes them crispy. Too much water makes them tough).
• Bake in 400 degree oven for 10-14 minutes.
• Cool on wire rack.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 150°F. Line a 9 x 12-inch rimmed baking sheet with a Silpat.
• Put the rice and water in a saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer until the rice is very tender and starting to get mushy, about 20 minutes.
• Drain the rice and put it in a food processor. Pulse a few times to make a very coarse puree, but make sure it retains some texture.
• Scrape the rice out onto the Silpat and spread it out evenly, filling the baking sheet. Put it in the oven to dry completely, about 3 hours.
• Pour about 3 inches of oil into a large saucepan and heat to 365°F. Break off pieces of the dried rice and fry, a few pieces at a time, until crisp and golden, about 2 minutes. Drain and sprinkle with salt.
• These are best served right away, but you can store leftovers, once cool, in an airtight container, between layers of parchment, for up to 2 days.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Mix flour, sugar, salt, and paprika together in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Add butter and mix until small crumbs form. Slowly add water and mix until a semi-stiff dough forms. Divide dough in half.
• Roll on a lightly floured surface to a thickness of 1/8 inch; cut into desired shapes and transfer to a baking sheet. Lightly prick each cracker a few times with a fork or toothpick. Sprinkle with additional salt. Repeat with remaining dough.
• Bake in the preheated oven until crispy and lightly bronzed in color, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool. Cool and store or serve as desired.
