Crackers are an all time favorite of mine. In fact the one thing I really miss with my families new organic chemical free diet is crackers. We make our own but they DON’T LAST!!
This fall we realized that preservatives and phosphates in bread type items were a bother to our son. We had kinda wondered about gluten as that is the big talk but as best as we can tell it really is not the gluten but what is put in those foods to preserve and keep them fresh. If you look up what else sodium phosphate is used for you will realize why we don’t really need it in our bread. I wont share this here…it would take away from the recipe.
I love Pinterest for researching recipes for my homemade stuff! This one I have not really changed the basic recipe… I found it to work just great. Simple with great taste and the ability to create a wonderful cracker!!
“2 ½ cups flour
3 teaspoons dried herbs/seasonings
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup olive oil
¾ cup cold water”
So just follow the link above to get the recipe that is so easy. What I have done is add to it. I have messed with the flour and used: almond flour, cashew flour, gluten free flour, or any other flour type you like. For the spices I always add garlic salt and usually Italian seasoning (they are my favorite) but sometimes add: cheese, flaxseed, baking soda to make thicker. Bottom line they Always taste great!
