Homemade Savory Crackers Recipe

Crunchy and healthy homemade Mediterranean savory crackers with herbs and whole wheat flour. They require one bowl only, are ridiculously easy to make and taste incredible. Perfect for little helpers too, you basically need to try them. 

This recipe was born out of pure necessity.

So, there I was 6+ months pregnant, exceptionally hungry – all-the-time-hungry and very careful to protect myself as much as possible from the outside happenings. One day, I was craving crackers, but couldn’t simply put the boots on and go to the store. We made a rule to go shopping once a week (thanks ”social distancing”) and this week we already had bought all we needed. So, when you cannot reach for a store bought solution of crazy pregnancy cravings, you simply make it at home. 

These Mediterranean – style savory crackers are infused by aromatic herbs, touched by gentle tomato sauce and gorgeous homemade crunchy feel.

HOW TO MAKE HOMEMADE SAVORY CRACKERS

1. Flour your surface when you roll out the dough.
2. Brush your rolling pin with vegetable oil before rolling out the dough.
3. Roll out the dough as thin as possible to get the best crunchy feel. 
4. If you choose to add fresh herbs not dried, chop them as finely as possible. 
5. Choose your tomato concentrate wisely – it gives a lot of flavor to the crackers and basically is the base flavor of these little beauties. 
6. Engage your little ones when making the crackers – that way they taste much better.

Servings 40 small crackers

Ingredients

• 1, 1/2 cups /250 g flour + more for sprinkling , whole wheat ( finely milled )
• 2 tbsp tomato concentrate
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 2 tbsp thyme, dried
• 1 tsp oregano , dried
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup water, or more as needed

1 cup = 250 ml

Instructions

• In a large mixing bowl add flour. baking powder and herbs and spices and mix well until combined.
• Then make a whole in the middle of the flour mix and add olive oil, tomato concentrate and water. Start mixing until a smooth ball (that does not stick to your fingers) is formed. Add more flour and/or water (tbsp by tbsp) if needed. Grease hands with olive oil if mixing by hand and the dough turns too sticky at first.
• On a flat surface sprinkle some flour and roll out the dough into a thin ( as thin as possible) 'sheet'. Start cutting the desired forms. Then transfer onto baking sheet and use fork to make small wholes in the crackers.
• Bake in preheated oven (180C/350F) until crackers turn lightly brown (between 10-20 minutes in my oven). Be careful as they might burn quickly. Remove and set aside to cool completely. Keep in air tight container.
