Wheat crackers

After looking at some inspiring blogs this morning I decided to make some crackers. They are very easy to make and very simple. This is a great basic recipe that could have herbs or cheeses or any sort of yummy thing added to them.



Recipe:
* 2 1/4 cups whole wheat flour (freshly ground is best on pastry setting)
* 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
* 3/4 teaspoon salt
* 1/3 cup vegetable oil or whatever oil you have on hand
* 1 cup water
* salt for sprinkling

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F after you have mixed your dough
2. In a medium bowl, stir together the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, and 3/4 teaspoon salt. Pour in the vegetable oil and water; mix until just blended.Using a fork is the easiest.
3. On a lightly floured surface or for less mess use parchment paper, roll out the dough as thin as possible - no thicker than 1/8 inch. Cut into squares or use cookie cutters. Place shapes on an ungreased baking sheet as close as you want. Prick each cracker with a fork a few times, and sprinkle with salt by hand so as to get the salt on the just the crackers.
4. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until crisp and light brown. Baking time may be different depending on how thin your crackers are. When cool, remove from baking sheet,and store in a bag or airtight container.
