You can switch up the flavor a million different ways to have them go with whatever you are serving. But I am partial to rosemary and olive oil with a little garlic in the background. It goes with just about anything and are down right addicting to just eat on their own.

How Do You Make Crackers From Scratch

This cracker recipe is so much easier to make than you could ever imagine! Just a few simple steps and 5 minutes until they are in the oven baking to crispy perfection.

  1. Make Dough. In a bowl mix together flour, baking powder, salt and herbs. I used rosemary for this recipe, but you can really use any herb you like or leave it out if you want a plain cracker. In a measuring cup mix together water and olive oil and add to the flour mixture. Stir until it forms a smooth ball.
  2. Roll Dough. Divide the dough in half and use your hands to press the dough onto a baking sheet. You want to get it nice and thin, the thinner you get the dough the crispier the crackers will be.
  3. Bake. Bake for 12-14 minutes until they are crispy and golden. How long they take in the oven will depend on how thin or thick the dough is.
  4. Serve. Let them cool and then serve!

Cracker Recipe Variations

There are lots of ways that you can make these crackers your own.

  • Skip the rosemary and sprinkle Everything But The Bagel seasoning over the top.
  • Mix in cheese! A little bit of your favorite shredded cheese will turn these into great cheese crackers.
  • Like things spicy? Add come cayenne pepper.
  • Dried herbs – thyme, oregano, or basil would be great additions.
  • Add coarse black pepper for a fun twist.

How To Store Homemade Crackers

Crackers are best stored in an air tight container. They will last for about a week in a plastic storage container.

You can make the dough ahead of time and freeze in a ball until you are ready to roll and bake it.

  1. Erin, the hubby and I both enjoyed these crackers for our movie night snack — they were so quick to make, too! Thanks for a great recipe!

  2. These crackers look so delicious and very tasty! I canโ€™t wait to make these for get togethers and movie nights! Excited to make these tonight for our movie!

    1. I haven’t ever tried it, so I don’t know. I would start with a little less water and just add a little bit at a time until it forms a dough.

  3. These were so good!! Thank you so much for having a straight forward simple recipe that doesnโ€™t have 18 ingredients.

  4. I made a batch and they are SOOOOOO good so i made another but this time I used Oregano instead of Rosemary. They are still in the oven so IDK taste yet. Its so very easy to make. Much easier than bread or pie dough. Im bringing cheese and crackers to TG dinner. Thanks for this recipe. Yum!

    1. The oil is in the dough and flavors the crackers, so no you wouldn’t want to use less. But you could make them in a convection oven, they would likely take less time to get browned and crispy.
