Wonderful and very easy to adapt. I tried olive oil like another reviewer suggested. I just whirled the dry ingredients and added the oil through the hopper to make sure it got distributed. I just added my own herbs without measuring. I also tried a batch that was half whole wheat (using white wheat instead of red wheat). This was so easy and the dough handled really well. It was easy enough to do with "help" from the 4 year old and the 16 month old.

I have been paying a fortune for gourmet flat bread crackers, no more! This recipe is so easy! No mess, no hassle! I had to add a bit more water than called for, but everything else I kept the same. This disappeared as soon as it came out of the oven. Next time I am making a double batch! Thanks Dancer^!!

Wonderful. Easy, too. Worth washing the food processor for (and I HATE washing that thing!).
I made three batches in very little time. I didn't make the basic recipe but rather followed some of the reviewers and omitted the herbs and pepper for the following variations:
1. seed crackers: half whole wheat flour, and all the seeds I had on hand (except cumin) - flax, cracked wheat, sesame and caraway. Good topping cracker, not overpowering in flavour.
2. cheese crackers (nice orange colour): These taste sort of like 'Cheese Nips' only WAY better. 1/2 cup grated cheddar and about 1/2 tsp chipotle sauce - YUM
3. 'Indian' crackers (pale yellow). These taste a lot like pappadums! Added 1/8 tsp turmeric, about 2 tsp cumin seeds, about 1/4 tsp ground cumin. Might add cracked black pepper to this one next time.
Totally forgot to prick the crackers before baking, will do so next time as they puffed up a little. I submitted a photo

Mmmm...very easy and delicious. I added lots of fresh minced garlic (about 2-3 large cloves, though I LOVE garlic) and lots of fresh thyme, rosemary and sage. I also made a batch with a mix of my favorite seeds (poppyseed, sesame, caraway, fennel and dried minced garlic and onion) MMMMM!!!! Much better and cheaper than buying the fancy crackers at the store.

You can do anything with this base recipe. you can use olive oil instead of butter and also can use any flour you want as well. I just made a batch 1/2 white flour 1/4 whole wheat, 1/4 spelt plus some corn meal. i have quit buying storebought crackers and you can make organic, non gmo, - but just to know what is in them and what is going into my and my childrens body makes me happy. thanks for the recipe

This is by far the most succesful cracker recipe that I have ever tried. The dough was very easy to work with. The key is to roll it out almost as thin as possible. I scored mine with a pizza cutter and then they just broke along the lines when they were baked.

This recipe is a keeper. I made these and added toasted sesame and poppy seeds, roasted garlic, and a little garlic and onion powder. They were so good. I pinched off a bit and just rolled the dough thin like the fancy flatbreads you buy and baked like the recipe stated. Such an easy and quick recipe. They turned out perfect. Thanks for posting.

Love this recipe! It was easy and quick to make. All crackers were eaten immediately... I'll have to make more.

Very good. The crackers that I undercooked were much better than the ones I overcooked
