Homemade Whole Wheat Crackers

Recipe Description

I love this Homemade Whole Wheat Crackers recipe because it is healthy and tasty. As you know, I love making things from scratch, but I always thought crackers were too difficult to make at home. How wrong was I!

To make these crackers, start by mixing flour with wheat bran, salt, and sesame seeds. Pour water and oil into the flour mixture. Knead the mixture together until you have a smooth dough. Divide the dough into 2 equal pieces and roll each one out until thin. Cut into small rectangles and stab holes in them with a fork. Bake and cool completely before serving. Enjoy with cheese, hummus or your favorite salad.

To make the Homemade Whole Wheat Crackers, you will need the following ingredients:
