Whole Wheat Crackers

WHOLE WHEAT CRACKERS

3 1/4 c whole wheat flour
1/2 c flaxseed
1/2 c wheat germ
1/2 tsp salt
1 c water
1/3 c olive oil
salt or other spice to sprinkle

Directions
Preheat oven to 350 F. Mix first 6 ingredients together (I like to use my kitchen aid mixer). Do not overmix. Divide dough into 4 sections. Take each section and roll it as thin as you can get and to roughly the size of a cookie sheet - when you think it's thin enough, roll it some more to get it even thinner. Try to get it roughly as thick as Wheat Thins would be. It's helpful to roll the dough on parchment paper and then place the dough and paper together onto a cookie sheet to bake. Prick dough randomly with a fork. Using a knife, lightly score the dough into squares or rectangles. Sprinkle with salt or your preferred spice and bake for 15-20 minutes or until they're browned and crispy. When they're cooled break them apart along the scored lines and enjoy!

Other spices I like to use:
Paprika, Garlic, Thyme, Savory.  Also, it's fun to use parm (not fresh), or the Kraft Cheddar (think Kraft Dinner cheese).



*Tip: Tap the crackers with a fork to make sure they're crispy. If they're not, bake them for another few minutes and check again.
