Homemade Whole-Wheat Graham Crackers — An Ode to Simple Baking
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, sugar, salt, baking soda, and cinnamon.
- Add the cold butter to the dry ingredients and use a pastry blender or your fingers to work the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the honey and 1 tablespoon of water until well combined. Pour the honey mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until the dough comes together in a ball.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it a few times until it becomes smooth and pliable.
- Divide the dough into 2-3 equal pieces, depending on how thick you like your crackers. Roll out each piece of dough into a thin sheet, about 1/16 inch thick.
- Use a sharp knife or a pastry cutter to cut the dough into rectangles or squares. You can also use a cookie cutter to create fun shapes.
- Place the crackers on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each cracker.
- Bake the crackers for 10-12 minutes, or until they're lightly golden brown around the edges.
- Remove the crackers from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
