Whole Grain Vegan Cracker

Make your own crackers at home. These simple snacks have a nutty whole grain flavor, like wheat thins.

Ingredients

Quantities are shown as originally provided.

1
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Set two cookie sheets aside.
2
Mix the dry ingredients together. Add the buttery spread and water. Mix. If the dough seems too dry, add a bit more water. It should form a ball, and be thick.
3
Separate the dough into two even pieces, and pat into a flat log shape.
4
Place one log on a sheet of parchment paper. Cover with another sheet of parchment paper. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough out very thin, about 1/8" thick.
5
Remove the top sheet of paper, and transfer the dough on the parchment to one of the cookie sheets. Score the dough with a sharp knife, making one inch squares. Do not pull apart.
6
Sprinkle a little water on the dough, smooth it over the surface with your fingers, and sprinkle the dough with coarse sea salt.
7
Repeat steps 4-6 with the other half of the dough. Each sheet of dough will not fill a whole cookie sheet. I do it this way because it seems like if the dough stretches to the edges of the cookie sheet, the crackers get a little bit two brown. Using two pans seems to allow them to cook more evenly.
8
Bake at 400 degrees for 10-14 minutes. Turn pans once while baking.Keep a close eye on the crackers, you don't want them to burn. They should be lightly golden brown and dry.
9
Allow to cool on the cookie sheets, and then break up the crackers. Store in an airtight container.
