Basic Crackers

[kailey47]

I made these today with Wheat Grain, and they have turned out beautifully!!!!!

I used the Pasta Machine to roll them out and made them at a few different thicknesses so I knew what I liked best.

On a few of them I brushed a tiny bit of olive oil and then ground some salt/pepper on top. MMMMMMMM perfect!!!!!

I will be doing this from now on, so much cheaper than buying them.

Really stoked at how great they look too... Plus the kids actually love them!!!

Hi kailey47, welcome to the forum with your first posting and review.  Obviously it helps to have a pasta machine as it is difficult to get this type of biscuit as thin as it needs to be with just a rolling pin.  What a shame your picture hasn't shown up, I would have loved to have seen the finished bikkie.  When you said you made them different thicknesses, was it the thinnest you preferred?

Thanks for bumping this, sounds amazing. Bought some nice crackers at the good food show. Tuckers crackers lovely long triangles,might try something like that with this recipe.

Thanks Judy

I've fixed the picture now, it's a tad big, sorry.

I personally prefer the thinner ones, but my girls prefer the thicker ones. The thicker ones are very much like Ritz crackers.

I did hand roll the round ones, but I have arthritis and rolling is not the best thing for me. The pasta machine definitely makes it easy.

I so love my TMX...

Thanks kailey, they look great.  A picture of food is never too big   I envy those who are able to post the bigger pictures, I can only manage the small ones which have to be opened to get a good look at the food.
Rolling dough is my pet hate, don't think I have arthritis but it just seems to be a difficult thing for me to do.

Hello..

Trying to make the crackers.. however.. when I done with the interval speed.. it's not bcome like "dough"..anyone can tell me what happen??

Thanks heap!

What did it look like?  Sometimes dough forms into tiny little balls and needs to be kneaded together by hand a little. 

[FaithHopeLove]

oh~ is that mean I have to form it together using hand after i have done this  ? it's like "flour".. dont know how to explain..
not like normal bread dough..

[kailey47]

FaithHopeLove - My dough is all crumbly when I do it, but I just form it together by hand once it's done.

Just made these wonderful crackers! Nice and crunchy. I added Parmesan and poppy seeds to the mix and also extra salt. Rolled them out to 2mm with the rolling pin and cooked for 15 minutes. I left them in the oven while it was cooling for about another 20 minutes and they came out nice and crunchy.

Ok I'm about to try these and am slightly confused going through all the discussions it's easy to do to me lol.

So bakers flour - where do I find that?  I'm in Adelaide, South Australia
dried yeast is one we get in supermarket?
and the spelt/rye/oats - can I get that in supermarket?

Thanks heaps xx

Baker's flour can be found in the supermarket. It's usually under the flour and in 5kg or bigger bags. I think the makers are Defiance and Laucke. It's usually next to the bread mixes.
The yeast can also be bought in the supermarket. I then keep mine in the freezer.
For the spelt etc you will probably have to go to a health food shop. I'm sure someone in Adelaide will be able to help you.

Hi all,

I made these today. I had to add more water to my dough as it was very dry and crumbly and would not come together. I used a few different flavouring to give them a bit more oomph

Hearts = Paprika
Stars = Garlic and Herb
Flowers = Rosemary and Salt
Circles = Parmesan and Pepper

I also made rectangles and left them plain, and cut the rest of the dough into "jigsaw pieces" and sprinkled them with Moroccan seasoning. We served with avocado and lemon juice
