4 ingredient homemade crackers
Sweet chilli sauce – The star ingredient of this recipe. Use your favorite sweet chilli sauce for the best results. If you want your crackers a little more on the spicy side, feel free to add a pinch or two of chilli flakes too.
Flour – Plain white all purpose flour works best here.
Canola oil – This will go both in the crackers and on top. You can use whatever cooking oil that you like or simply what you have on hand.
Water – These crackers are based on simple water crackers. The water helps to make the crackers easy to form into a dough and roll out thinly.
How thin should you roll out your crackers
The key to a crisp homemade cracker is how thin you roll out the dough. I try to aim for an even 2mm thickness . Rolling your dough between two pieces of baking paper will help you get the dough extra thin without it sticking to your bench top or rolling pin. When you have rolled your crackers nice and thin simply cut your pieces before brushing on the topping and baking.
Tips and tricks
- If you want uniform shapes you can use a pizza cutter and a ruler. Place the ruler and cut along the edge this will stop the cutter from veering of course. You can also use cookie cutters to cut circles, stars or any shapes you like.
- These crackers will shrink slightly when they bake so there is no need to separate them on your tray. Simply slice, brush on your topping and bake.
- Because the dough is rolled so thin there will be some darker browning on the edge crackers. To avoid this you can rearrange the crackers on the tray halfway through baking.
- don’t forget to add the topping before baking. The extra oil helps your crackers crisp up and become golden and the extra sweet chilli sauce gives these an almost glazed chilli flavor.
- Leave your crackers on the baking trays to cool fully. The heat from the baking tray will help dry out the crackers as they coo down.
- Store your cooled crackers in an airtight container or divide them into small snap lock bags for easy snacking.
