Homemade Graham Crackers
Ingredients:
1-1/4 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup whole wheat graham flour
1/2 cup turbinado sugar
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. fine grain sea salt
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/4 cup lukewarm water
1/4 cup honey
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
Directions:
Heat oven to 350*F & line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. In a large bowl or stand mixer, mix together the w/w flour, graham flour, sugar, baking powder & soda, salt & cinnamon. In a small bowl or glass measuring cup, mix the lukewarm water & honey until honey has dissolved. Add honey-water mixture, vanilla & melted butter to the dry ingredients & mix until the dough comes together. Divide the dough in half & form each half into a 1/2" thick disk & wrap with plastic wrap. Chill for about an hour or until the dough is firm enough to roll out. Once the dough has chilled, roll the dough out between 2 sheets of plastic wrap, until the dough is about 1/8" thick. Use a 2-1/2" cookie cutter & cut the crackers out, rerolling the scraps as needed. Place them on baking sheets & poke holes on the top of the crackers using a chopstick or similar device. Chill the crackers for a few mins. in the fridge before baking if the dough gets too warm. Bake for about 12-15 mins. or until they are just starting to brown & are slightly firm to the touch. They will crisp when they cool. Transfer to wire racks to cool. Makes 30 crackers.
