a real recipe for Angie's homemade crackers
1/4 cup hard red wheat
1/2 cup + 1/8 cup oats
1/4 cup wheat bran
1 tsp basil
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp rosemary
1/8 + 1/16 tsp salt
1 TBS + 1 tsp olive oil
1/2 cup water
Soak hard red wheat in water till chewable. Blend and grind wheat, oats, and bran in the food processor or bullet. Mix in salt and herbs. Mix in oil. Then mix in water. Place small drops on a cookie sheet. Spread really thin. Bake at 350, till crispy (I have yet to time it). When they are done, you probably won't even need a spatula to remove them from the cookie sheet.
We'll say it yields 4 servings; each containing approximately 150 calories, 4.4 grams of protein, 4.5 grams of dietary fiber, and only 95mg of sodium.
They go well with roasted garlic. I'd try them with a tasty spreadable cheese. I haven't, but you should. Now that I've got the crackers to taste good again. I think I will make a batch for book club tomorrow. I will also have to redeem my good name a make a batch for Bible study next week (I threw out the ones I took this morning).

home made crackers (it's a lent thing)
Ingrediants:
Hard red wheat
rolled oats
wheat bran
olive oil
freshly ground sea salt
olive oil
water
favorite dried herbs
Soak red wheat in warm water to soften (maybe about an hour). Dry on towel. Place equal parts of red wheat, oats, and wheat bran in small bullet attachment or food processor. Grind finely, but not powdery. Add herbs. I like basil, oregano, and rosemary. Add in a few twists of salt from your costco sea salt grinder, (maybe 8?). Add a pour of olive oil (a table spoon or two). Add water in small amounts till it all sticks together and you have a corse cookie dough consistancy. Be careful not to get it too watered. Place teaspoons of mix on a cookie sheet. Spread thinly with a fork to the size of a cookie. Bake at 350 until crispy.
It turns out that having an actual recipe is a good thing. I don't know why they were way better last night than this morning...
