Homemade Oat Sesame Crackers {Gluten Free}

 

Don't get scared away by the thought of making homemade crackers!  In fact they are way easier than making pizza dough or pie crust. Nothing needs to rise and no kneading needs to take place. It's a simple mix and press into a pan. Really simple, really!

When it's time for a holiday party with friends and family appetizers and snacks are a must. Everyone likes to eat picky finger food while waiting for the main course or at least that's how we do it in my family.

No need to buy expensive crackers when you can make healthier ones at home. Six ingredients plus water is all you need for this recipe!

 

I used a large 12 by 18 inch baking sheet and a small 9 by 12 inch baking sheet. I didn't even use a rolling pin but you can. I just pressed the dough down with my fingers and spread it out as thin as I could. Not perfect. Not even in my scoring work here either, but RUSTIC and natural and HOMEMADE!!

 

 

Crisp and delicious and no preservatives or artificial anything in these babies! Once out of the oven cut the scores and let cool.

 

 

Totally uneven but I don't care and neither should you! Your guests will be amazed you made your own crackers and the taste will win them over for sure!
