Here it's suppose to roll out to fit onto a cooking sheet...mine not so pretty! Sprinkle with favorite topping, I used Parmesan cheese.
Out of the oven and cut right away.
The recipe says you should get 24 pieces and the calories etc...are based on that but I got 38 pieces.
Whole Wheat Cracker Recipe
(makes 24)
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup water
3/4 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup water
Preheat oven to 400 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or dust with all-purpose flour. Put all the ingredients except the water into a food processor and pulse until combined. If you don't own a food processor, mix the ingredients by hand in a bowl until little balls form.
Add the water and keep running the machine (or mixing in a bowl) until the mixture forms a ball (add a teaspoon of water at a time until you have a dough ball). Dust your counter with flour and roll out the dough until it is 1/4 inch thick. Transfer to the baking sheet, add any additional spices, and cut into 24 pieces. A pizza cutter is a very helpful tool for cutting the dough.
Bake until lightly browned, about 15 minutes. Store in a container at room temperature for a few days (if they last that long).

OK so this was one of my substitues for finding a healthier alternative for a snack I enjoy.
NOTE...whatever you choose to sprinkle on top add a little more, otherwise it will tend to taste a bit doughy...I added 1 tblsp of lemon juice, subbed it in for the water, I could have totally added more and then added a little sprinkle of sugar ;)

Some changes I would make are to reduce the sugar, increase the ww flour and decrease the all purpose.. Don't sub the apple butter for apple sauce; apple butter is a highly concentrated form of apple sauce with extra spices, ect. and can be made/bought w/o extra sugar.
these look good, what about taking out 1/2 cup of flour and subbing it with "Red Mill" all purpose baking flour, it's Gluten free. You can sub it in for 1/4 of your flour amount, but yo still have to use some reg.flour white or w/w to get it to rise. And take the sugar right out and use the Agave sweetener....I wonder as well to cut the raisins back and instead grate some orange zest in there. That would definitely add some flavour. I have a list of things to bake today, I'll post what I come up with.
