Homemade Whole Wheat Crackers


2 cups whole wheat flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2/3 cup warm water
1/3 cup olive oil

1. Preheat the oven to 400.
2. Lightly grease two large cookie sheets. Combine the dry ingredients, and then stir in the water, oil and mix until a smooth dough forms.
3. Divide the dough in half and flatten each half on a cookie sheet. Use a small rolling pin or even your fingers for a rustic, uneven look. Once the dough is spread thin, use a sharp knife or a pizza cutter to cut the dough into squares. The elasticity in the dough will make the crackers shrink slightly and pull away from each other; this makes them easy to bake without sticking together.
4. Brush lightly with an egg wash (one egg white and 2 tablespoons of water) or spray lightly with olive oil.
5. Sprinkle with the topping of your choice. Experiment with your favorite flavors, or try one of these variations below.
6. Bake for 12-14 minutes until the crackers are golden and crispy.

Variations:
Salt & Pepper
Rosemary & Coarse Sea Salt
Ranch Dressing Mix
Basil & Parmesan

I made these crackers with Abby this morning. On one cookie sheet I did sea salt, and on the other sea salt and garlic powder. I definitely liked the garlic ones better. These are good (and really easy to make), but I think I'll try to find a few other cracker recipes and experiment a little.

Abby and I made these as animal crackers! It was fun, and the crackers came out looking fancy too!
