Wheat Crackers


I'm defintely a salt tooth, not a sweet tooth.  So it was important for me to find a salty, clean snack.  I came across a mock Wheat Thins recipe and with some minor adjustments, came away with a tasty cracker!  Looking forward to experimenting with some flavors...stay tuned!

Cheat Thins

Adapted from a recipe by The Homespun Journal

Ingredients
 
1¼ cups whole-wheat flour
1 tsp fine sea salt
1/2  tsp smoked paprika
1/4 cup coconut oil (You can also use cold butter)
1/2 cup water
1½ T. honey
1/2 tsp vanilla
Coarse sea salt for sprinkling
 
Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees.  Line a large cookie sheet with parchement paper or foil.

Combine flour, fine sea salt, and paprika.  Cut in the coconut oil, until the mix is mealy.  Next add the water, honey, and vanilla.  Mix together as you would a pie crust, just until the mix can be formed into a ball.
Take the ball out of the bowl, onto a floured surface.  Split in half. 
Roll out the dough into a very thin sheet, about 1/8th of an inch.  Cut into squares and place onto the cookie sheet.  These will not expand, so they can be close.  Sprinkle with the coarse sea salt.
Bake for 10-11 minutes.
