Crispy Crackers Recipes

CRISPY CRACKERS

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.

WHEAT CRISP CRACKERS

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.

HOMEMADE CRISP CRACKERS

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.

CRISPY RICE CRACKERS

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.

CRISPY ROSEMARY SEA SALT FLATBREAD CRACKERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with a silicon mat or parchment paper.
• Place flour, salt, sugar, and grated cheese in a mixing bowl. Stir together until well mixed. Add rosemary; drizzle with olive oil and add water. Mix with a fork until mixture comes together in a fairly sticky dough and pulls away from the sides of the bowl, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Transfer dough onto floured surface and add flour as you knead the dough. Knead until it no longer sticks to work surface, 4 to 5 minutes. Divide dough in half.
• Dust work surface with flour. Roll out dough to 1/8-inch thickness or less. Brush or mist surface of dough very lightly with water. Sprinkle with coarse sea salt. Prick the entire surface of dough with the tines of a fork to prevent crackers from puffing too much when baking.
• Cut each rolled out half into about 30 pieces with a pizza wheel. You can cut them out in squares, rectangles, or triangles--your choice. Transfer onto prepared baking sheet with a bench scraper or your floured fingers (dough will be very sticky).
• Bake in preheated oven until perfectly browned and crunchy, 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the thickness.
