Looking for an alternative to the preservatives in commercial crackers, I began the quest to make my own.

Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 ½ teaspoons salt
• 1 cup rye flour
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 tablespoon caraway seed
• 1 teaspoon honey
• ⅓ cup canola oil
• ¼ cup water, or as needed

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Step 2

Combine the rye flour, all-purpose flour, caraway seed, salt, onion powder, and garlic powder in a bowl. Stir in the canola oil and honey. While stirring with a fork, slowly add the water until the dough comes together in a ball. Cover and rest for 10 minutes.

Step 3

Divide the dough into 4 sections, rolling each piece out on parchment paper to 1/8 inch thick. Cut into desired shape then place on a baking sheet. Prick each cracker a few times with a fork.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven until the edges are brown and the crackers are crisp, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove immediately to a cooling rack.
