Description
These creamy whole-wheat crackers offer a sophisticated twist on the classic cracker. Unlike dry, salty store-bought versions, these are enriched with half-and-half, creating a tender, slightly chewy texture that gives way to a light crispness. The whole-wheat flour provides a nutty, earthy depth, balanced by a hint of sugar for subtle sweetness. They are perfect as an elegant accompaniment to cheese boards, soups, or dips.

Ingredients
  • 2 1/2 cup Whole wheat flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon Sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 cup Half-and-half or cream
Directions
  1. 1
    Preheat the oven to 325&# 194;°F (165ðC).
  2. 2
    In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, sugar, and salt until evenly combined.
  3. 3
    Gradually pour in the half-and-half while mixing with a wooden spoon or your hands, until a soft, cohesive dough forms.
  4. 4
    Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for 1-2 minutes until smooth.
  5. 5
    Divide the dough into two equal halves.
  6. 6
    On a floured surface, roll one half of the dough out very thin, aiming for about 1/8-inch thickness.
  7. 7
    Use a cookie cutter, glass, or knife to cut the dough into 2-inch squares or shapes.
  8. 8
    Transfer the cut crackers to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  9. 9
    Use a fork to prick each cracker 2 or 3 times to prevent puffing.
  10. 10
    Bake for 10-12 minutes, then flip the crackers over.
  11. 11
    Bake for another 8-10 minutes until lightly golden brown and crisp.
  12. 12
    Repeat with the remaining dough.
  13. 13
    Allow crackers to cool completely on a wire rack; they will crisp up further as they cool.
