Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 350&# 194;°F (175ðC).
-
In a blender, combine the oil and water and blend until emulsified.
-
In a large bowl, mix together the whole wheat flour, white flour, and salt.
-
Pour the emulsified oil and water mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until a dough forms.
-
Knead the dough lightly on a floured surface just until it comes together smoothly.
-
Roll the dough out as thinly as possible (no more than 1/8 inch thick) on an unoiled cookie sheet or parchment paper.
-
Use a knife to score the dough into cracker-sized rectangles, being careful not to cut all the way through.
-
Prick each cracker a few times with a fork to prevent puffing.
-
Sprinkle lightly with additional salt or onion salt if desired.
-
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are crisp and lightly golden brown.
-
Remove from the oven and let cool completely on the sheet before breaking apart along the scored lines.

Note
Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
Variations: Try adding dried herbs like rosemary, garlic powder, or sesame seeds to the dough for extra flavor.
Tip: Ensure the dough is rolled very thinly for the best crisp texture. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour.
Ingredient Note: The "oil emulsified in blender" instruction refers to blending oil and water together to create a stable mixture before adding to flour.
