DIY Whole Grain Crackers -- Easy, quick, healthy, & delicious

Alice Friedemann demos how quick and easy it is to make your own crackers using the unique technique and a recipe from her book, "Crunch! Whole Grain Artisan Chips and Crackers." The oven is at 300 degrees. See www.wholegrainalice.com for much more.

[@rashal4758]

I think the recipe is: 2/3 cups whole wheat flour + 1 pinch of salt + quarter to half tsp black pepper + 1tbs black sesame (or white sesame or chia seeds) + 3 quarters cup of water. Bake for 10 minutes. Score and bake for 20 more minutes. Let them sit for 30 minutes. Looks delicious 😋

I just bought the book; we've got to support people like Alice so they can continue to do their fantastic work!

[@vwood2]

What a brilliant method- you don’t have to struggle with rolling them thinly. Thank you.

[@brendabrown8615]

I was pining for nutty wheat thins and found Alice. What a sweet, genuine person she seems to be. Can't wait to try her recipes.

[@eugenetswong]

I appreciate you putting in so much time into making this video, and sharing your technique. Thanks!

[@VrindaBhansali]

Love the way you explain everything in detail .. makes it foolproof .. heheheehe And the end part was the best .. super cute couple ..

[@JdieNite]

OMG we just feel in love with Alice, her style, and this recipe. Thanks so much for creating the video, and we look forward to receiving your book from Amazon to check out some of your other recipes. ✌ & 💙

Great video...easy to follow, articulate presenter, and the finished product looks delicious. Thank you.

[@Izzazzo]

that crunch! dang. how could i not make these? i have a feeling store bought crackers will soon become a thing of the past. and all the ways you could change this up. so exciting. thanksss very good job.

[@tsigiekumssa4018]

Great recipe and i love how easy it is. I am going to make some today. Thanks!!!

[@isasousa4701]

Fantastic vid! Probably my favorite tutorial from youtube ever ❤️

[@cut--]

I knew it! I tried this years ago and loved it. I lost this link though and all the one's I found made a dough first.. which is WAY to much work. I knew there was one where you just make a slurry, spread it out and bake it.. SO glad I found this again!

[@jefferykahn]

You put a big smile on Alice's face. Thanks for that!

[@Jill4Today]

Make more cooking videos. You are so great about making things easy to understand. Thanks!

This look so yummy! I'm gonna make it for my sister when i have the chance :) Thanks for the recipe!

[@eneal2056]

I’m really upset! All this time I could have been making these wonderful crackers and didn’t know it! They look fantastic. I’m definitely going to make this recipe.

Oh, what a wonderful recipe, thanks for sharing. Peace and Blessings.

Another post here.. I save all ends from produce, cheese, leftovers, anything that doesn't have carbs in a cool place. Before they start to go bad I blend everything up and use your method. I used to make these for my dogs and once and a while I'd try one and really liked them! In these hard times (inflation, covid, etc) I eat a lot of them and give the pups some too. =)

[@lyndayes]

Outstanding! Unique technique, sort of pour and dehydrate, I haven't seen in any other cracker recipe. So crisp! Only recipe I've used for past 3 years. Pros: very crisp, endless variety of flours, seeds, nuts, grains, and liquids, so easy to prepare, maybe 10 min to mix and score, no rolling out dough. Cons: long cooking time, I allow about 2 hours, but most of that time I'm free to do other things. Most recent favorite - almond and masa flour with ground quinoa and sesame seeds, garlic and onion powder, egg, and a small can of green chili enchilada sauce for the liquid. I live in New Mexico.😊 To help the toppings stick better, I spray lightly with olive oil after scoring, then top with salt and seasonings.

[@jefferykahn]

Alice thanks you for the kind feedback. Just to note: The more wet ingredients such as chili sauce and egg, the longer it may take in the oven.

[@dmevey]

Alice, your are freaking rad. Thank you!

Hello Alice and Jeff! I just saw this recipe while I had some crackers in the oven. Will definitely be trying yours next time! They look amazing, tasty and most importantly really easy to make. I prefer making no-knead bread and this crackers recipe is no-knead as well. Besides the lovely recipe, I have to let you know that the ending scene put a big smile on my face and made go "Awwww"! Hope you are doing well...

[@jefferykahn]

Mark, thank you for your kind comments. Alice and I are both doing well, and we are glad to hear we put a smile on your face!

Loved your chat with Jim Kunstler, so I came here. The way you dress is...eccentric, but this recipe is amazing and so much easier than Alton Brown's method using a pasta machine, even though they take forever to bake due to all the water.

[@marilynkaster4785]

I can't wait to bake these for my healthnut sweetheart. Great technique. I plan on using garlic salt, ground Rosemary or thyme, maybe crappy Parm cheese from the green can for different versions. I'll let you guys know how they turn out. Will buy the book most definitely.

[@jefferykahn]

Alice replies: "Do let me know, sounds like it will work just fine. I also like to used dried onions for flavor, and all kinds of spices, especially black pepper, chili powder, cumin, garam marsala, italian herbs, and so on. I only use cheese if I know they'll be eaten reasonably soon (in less than a week) since cheese can spoil."

[@Lavenderrose73]

That looks _awesome_, and so much easier than making dough and having to roll it out! And the colors!! Were those different grains, or how did you get all the different colors??

[@iloveno3]

ohh, i made this already 3 times: with whole wheat, buckwheat flour and ground millet. the first 2 came out very good, i am waiting for the 3rd time. so simple!

Just bought your book in Italy and tried already seed crackers.Very easy to make and a superb taste.They are thin and crunchy ; I am a pro pizza and bread baker but I never thought to bake crackers with a liquid batter with no salt or fats added .There is always something new to learn ,and this is really interesting also for health reasons.Thank you again and I'll have to try all your recipes and follow your website.Ciao It would have been perfect if you would have supplied all the ingredients also in grams for us in Europe.

[@alicefriedemann5328]

Different kinds of flour - split pea, red lental, chana dal, almond flour, different kinds of colors from hibiscus tea, spices (paprika, turmeric, etc), some of this is covered at wholegrainalice.com and even more info is in my book

[@BlackStar-yk7iz]

Sweet, thanks!

[@LizzieDeanMakes]

What a fabulous technique and a fabulous hat!! I usually do tahini paste and seeds and spread it thin with the back of the spoon but it is always really stiff and hard work to press thin - this technique looks so much simpler - I will have to give these a go! Do you ship your book to England? Xx

Alice thanks you for your kind comment. And yes, you can buy her book on Amazon. Go to the Amazon Global Shipping website and search for Alice Friedemann, and you can buy the book for delivery to you in England. Top of the day to you!

I'll be making your recipes using a dehydrator!!

[@bobbymcgovern]

Adeline, I don't know how yours turned out but they need to be baked to get rid of the raw flour taste. They would be nearly unpalatable if you only dehydrate them.

What temp for the intial bake? TIA.

[@mitaa1984]

Can I pour directly on the tray as I don't have the sheet? Thanks

[@jefferykahn]

Unfortunately no, responds Alice.

[@bowwowbuddy]

I haven't tried it myself for this particular recipe, but I have always used parchment paper for baking rather than baking mats. The crackers shouldn't stick, and even if they do, the parchment paper will peel right off. Give it a try. If it doesn't work, you haven't wasted a heck of a lot of ingredients, but if it works like I think it will, you'll be on your way to trayfuls of Alice's goodies. :)

[@natascharas7149]

I tried your recipe twice from youtube. but unfortunately they were very tough to eat both times. not crunchy at all :( I don't know what I'm doing wrong?

[@priscilla4221]

what about if you don't have a silicone mat? And I can't buy one cuz I spent all my money on my nails

[@jefferykahn]

You do need a silicone baking mat, says Alice.

[@gdibenedetto9877]

um...what if you don't hace one of those fancy sheets? can i grease the pan instead?

[@jefferykahn]

Sad to say, you do need to use the silicone sheet. That is one of the keys to why this technique is so easy.

[@gdibenedetto9877]

Jeff Kahn where to buy?

[@jefferykahn]

One Alice's wholegrainalice.com website, she has a short piece telling you where. Google and Amazon can also assist. Alice's where to buy article is at wholegrainalice.com/2013/09/where-to-buy-baking-half-sheets-and-silicon-mats/

Can I make it with coconut flour? ☺️

[@jefferykahn]

Alice says she hasn't tried that, but it is always fun to try new flours. The risk is that it is crumbly (like almond flour) so try to limit it to one third or less of the flour used in that batch.
