Margie’s Crackers

Hard red wheat flour = bread flour

Use any of Nash’s freshly ground flours to make Margie’s crackers.

3 cups Nash’s whole wheat flour, pastry flour and/or triticale flour (any combination!)
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon or so of salt
1 tablespoon of seasoning: kelp powder, nutritional yeast, chili powder, garlic, etc. (optional)
3 tablespoons oil
1 cup warm water

To mix by hand:
Mix dry ingredients together and then add wet. If too dry, add more water by the teaspoon. Knead until not too stiff.

To use a mixer with a dough hook:
Mix dry ingredients together. Turn on machine, and add wet ingredients. If too dry, add more water by the teaspoon. Leave machine on until ball of dough forms.

Next steps
Wrap dough in plastic wrap or cover with a towel and let stand for 10 minutes.

Divide dough into quarters.

Roll out each piece fairly thinly. Cut into squares with sharp knife or use cookie cutters or biscuit cutters. Transfer to ungreased baking sheet and poke holes in the tops of the crackers with fork.

Bake at 350 degrees for about 10-15 minutes until slightly brown and crisp. Time will vary depending on thickness of dough.
