Aloha! Tried this recipe today. Super easy and very customizable. I was looking to make crackers using my DIY dehydrated vegetable powder(s) for my 98-year-old Grandma to snack on when she’s not feeling hungry enough for a “meal”. [I wasn’t keen on all the “seed” cracker recipes popping up in my search] I doubled the recipe, using wheat flour, and added my DIY spinach-carrot-lettuce veg-mix, a sprinkle of a multi-seasoning mix (someone else had bought and left in the pantry), and also used my DIY onion and garlic powder. I skipped the chili powder, though, because I split the dough batch in half: one topped with the fine crumbs from my grandma’s Multi-grain Cheerios cereal for sweetness, and one topped with a little salt. I got a little fancy (silly) with the salted batch and cut it in kind of a diamond instead of the squares because I needed to make sure I knew which was which (sweet or salty). Grandma and I both gave the thumbs-up after our taste test. This is going to be my Go-To cracker recipe from now on! Thank you so much for sharing. Aloha!
Recently found your website during a random search. Signed up and ordered one of you courses. Really liking everything and I highly recommend. Just sold my home and when things settle down I'll be building on land I purchased many years ago. I've been patiently waiting and planning to live a self-sufficient, healthy, debt free life! Blessings.
Saw yr video very early this morning tries at nine and I just said bye by to store bought crackers. Now realizes that the texture is in d mixture. Have been trying to get this results for yrs. Thank u I subscribed
These look really good. I like making crackers they are so easy and you can make many different kinds of flavors. I have not tried to make graham crackers yet but would really like too. Though it will have to wait ...pretty sure I have the virus, but I think I am over the worst of it. Hope everyone is healthy and if you do have it hope it does not get too bad. Stay hydrated I have found that warm drinks help I make a lemon, raw honey and cinnamon one that is good. Take care all!
Thank you for the printable recipe. My husband is always looking for something to snack on during the day. This looks like it will fill the bill. I can't wait to try your recipe.
Thank you so much for your video! I am going to make this crackers for my grandchildren, and for myself because I cannot have salt. I like to make wheatin cracker, your suggestions are appreciated.
Yum I have never made crackers I hope to get ingredients to make soon thanks for sharing your love with world ❤😊🙏want to make a good goldfish type crackers is square shape for peanut butter ❤
If I take into account the likely need for extra water can I use a bit of ground sees in these? Meaning ground/powdered subflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, etc? I think the floavor would be wonderful. :)
Hi Melissa! Thanks for sharing this recipe! I'm on your bread baking course and I'm trying to find what brand of scale you use, but I can't seem to find it anywhere! Is there any particular brand that you recommend? Thank you! ☺️
Melissa K. Norris - Modern Homesteading thank you so much! So far I have bought the sandwich iron cast pan you recommended and I love it! I’ll def get this scale. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge 😊 Stay safe!
@@StephanieJoRountree if you try using almond flour would you post your results here? I do keto as well and am always looking for crisp and crunchy foods like crackers. Thanks!
If you use coconut flour you'll need to increase the water. I have had readers use gluten-free blend with success but haven't tried straight coconut flour
Do you have a good source for bread flour berries, AKA hard red spring wheat? I love King Arthur flour but their berries are expensive. I want a source for bulk berries.
@@MelissaKNorris is it cheaper to buy berries in bulk than to buy flour? I get my King Arthur in 50lb bags for about $25 here in NJ. If it ends up being cheaper to grind my own, I'll probably get a mill and start on that. I make a lot of challah, pita, sandwich loaves, and I recently started a sourdough starter I'm working on.
This process took a lot longer than 5mins. Perhaps when I’ve made it a number of times I can cut it down to 15mins 🙄 Just rolling out the dough alone is a 5-10min process, especially if you want it as thin as possible. My cookie sheet has a rim that prevents me from being able to roll directly on it, so rolling between two pieces of parchment paper was life-saving in this case so that I could control the thin-ness. I had issues getting it to crisp all the way through despite rolling it quite thin. It was crisp but not quite like a cracker…it reminded me of a graham cracker, but maybe it’s because I’m usually freshly milled flour vs a white flour. Or perhaps this is why they poke holes in the crackers? I’m going to try that next time and see if it makes a difference. For my oven, 10mins at 400 burned the first batch, so for others I would recommend keeping an eye on it during the last five mins. I am wondering if a lower temp for longer time would help draw out more moisture. I have to play around with this recipe a bit, but I still made my first ever crackers, and the second batch-although not cracker crisp was still tasty. An enjoyable snack!
You’re using a dry measuring cup to measure your water, and a liquid measuring cup to measure your dry flour. You are doing it backwards. Your glass measuring cup is for measuring liquids. Your copper metal measuring cups are for dry ingredients. Better still, get a scale that measures grams. 😉👍
Why would you make the recipe with the ingredients printed lighter than the rest of the recipe. For old people like me its hard to read. In fact, I can't read it. Fie. I would say Fie on you but I don't know you. Go fix it please. thank you

These look great. Where did you get that cookie sheet?
@@darrencarlson217 I got mine years ago, but it's an insulated heavy-gauge steel cookie sheet very similar to this one amzn.to/3dOJKNC *affiliate link
These are the best crackers I have ever eaten. I can't believe how good they are.

I think I will try adding some Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing dry powder.

So happy you tried them!

Always looking for a fast and yummy cracker! Going to try soon, thank you!
Let me know how you like them!
They turned out great! Do quick and easy...these will go yummy with some hummus! Thank you!
I do think I need to roll them thinner next time. I like the fact that I can use different herbs and spices...
Hi melissa thanks for the video i will watch it tomorrow when i have more time doing well
Thanks Melissa, these look great! Perfect for a Sunday afternoon on quarantine ;)
Thank you. It's nearly impossible to find plain basic wheat crackers without sugar in the store now and almost everyone "poisons" bread with sugar.
They are delicious, they don’t last in our house either 😊👌
If I take into account the likely need for extra water can I use a bit of ground sees in these? Meaning ground/powdered subflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, etc? I think the floavor would be wonderful. :)
Yes you can! Let me know how it goes
DID SHE JUST MAKE THE FLOUR
Yes! She did just make the flour. Isn't that great?
Bea 😂
Y e a hhhh was thinking the same 🤷♂️
😲😲😲same!!
Oh I love crackers. Never made them myself. But that was way easy I just might have to try that. God bless
Hi Melissa! Thanks for sharing this recipe! I'm on your bread baking course and I'm trying to find what brand of scale you use, but I can't seem to find it anywhere! Is there any particular brand that you recommend? Thank you! ☺️
This is the scale I use, I got it back in 2014 and it's still kicking! amzn.to/2R8LjfA *affiliate link
Melissa K. Norris - Modern Homesteading thank you so much! So far I have bought the sandwich iron cast pan you recommended and I love it! I’ll def get this scale. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge 😊 Stay safe!
I love your blue bowl! Where did you get it?
It was a wedding gift from 20 years ago and it's Pyrex
A must make recipe :-D
Can we make this with a food processor?
dude is 4am and I'm tired as hecc, these look so good so now I'm in my kitchen
Thanks from egypt
I'm sure these will be gone before the family gets home!😎
Do you have to use butter?
What was your oven temperature at? That's the only thing I don't think you said.
Should the dough be docked?
Have you ever made these using Einkorn flour?
No
Can you use almond flour? I eat keto.
I haven't tested this one with almond flour but I think it will work well, you might have to play with how much liquid to use
@@MelissaKNorris Thanks for your quick reply!
@@StephanieJoRountree if you try using almond flour would you post your results here? I do keto as well and am always looking for crisp and crunchy foods like crackers. Thanks!
@@kerrybun Will do. I have made other keto crackers as well.
Also SHARED
Awesome
I show this to my grandma she make this for me
Will it work, if I roll it into a log and freeze it, then cut thin slices to make round crackers?
I haven't tried it so don't know, but let me know of you try it how it goes
Any chance you have tried this with coconut oil? Butter is hard for us to get right now :(
Yes they're great with coconut oil!
@@MelissaKNorris Wonderful thank you!
Can I use gluten free coconut flour ?
If you use coconut flour you'll need to increase the water. I have had readers use gluten-free blend with success but haven't tried straight coconut flour
What can I use if I don’t have honey? Thanks for the recipe nevertheless it looks great :)
Stevia, syrups....
Do you have a good source for bread flour berries, AKA hard red spring wheat?
I love King Arthur flour but their berries are expensive.
I want a source for bulk berries.
I actually prefer hard white wheat for bread and here's my sources melissaknorris.com/where-to-buy-grains-in-bulk/

Your hair looks beautiful like this Melissa!
Thank you!
Did you the grinding for health?

When I think about crackers I want them salted
Title says 5 minutes bug you said 15 minutes in your video...
Why are you measuring dry ingredients with a liquid measuring cup?
A cup is still a cup
Recipe but it saddens me with so much butter
You lost me there with grinding of flour 😅
You’re using a liquid measuring cup to measure dry flour. You should be using a dry measuring cup instead.
Not 5 mins…
nothing healthy with all that butter you use.
Real grass fed butter is healthy
where do you get your nutritional facts? that is a horrendous statement! do not listen to trump lady...
Why would you make the recipe with the ingredients printed lighter than the rest of the recipe. For old people like me its hard to read. In fact, I can't read it. Fie. I would say Fie on you but I don't know you. Go fix it please. thank you
It's not lighter, check your printer settings or ink levels
