Wheat Crackers

It's 9:30, the kids are finally in bed asleep, and you're favorite show is DVR'd and ready for your enjoyment but....You're Starving!  One of my favorite snacks that is healthy and filling is a classic cheese, cracker, and fruit plate.  Yum!  I love these healthy, simple, robust wheat cracker for such occasion!  There's endless possibilities of toppings and mix-ins to make your crackers satisfy your craving!

1c white flour
1c wheat flour
1t baking powder
1/2t salt
2/3c warm water
1/3c olive oil

Preheat oven to 400 degrees and lightly grease two large cookie sheets.  Combine the dry ingredients, and then stir in the water, oil and mix until smooth dough forms. 

Divide the dough in half and flatten each half on a cookie sheet.  Use a small rolling pin, a smooth cup, or even your fingers for a rustic look. 

Once dough is spread thin, use a pizza cutter to cut the dough into squares.  The elasticity in the dough will make the crackers shrink slightly and pull away form each other;  so easy!

Brush lightly with an egg wash (1 egg white and 2T water) or spray lightly with olive oil. 

Sprinkle with sea salt of other desired seasonings. 

Bake at 400 degrees for 10-12 min until crackers are golden and crispy.

IDEAS:  Rosemary and sea salt, sesame seeds, Parmesan cheese, chopped sun dried tomatoes
