Ingredients
  • 1 3/4 cup Whole wheat flour
  • 1 1/2 cup White flour
  • 1/3 cup Oil

  • 3/4 tsp Salt
Directions
  1. 1

  4. 4
    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.
  6. 6
    Roll the dough out as thinly as possible (no more than 1/8 inch thick) on an unoiled cookie sheet or parchment paper.
  7. 7
    Use a knife to score the dough into cracker-sized rectangles, being careful not to cut all the way through.

Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
