Which foods do you regularly buy from the groccery store because making a homemade version is just too much work? For me, it is always bread and crackers. Don’t get me wrong, homemade bread is delicious, but between kneading the bajeezus out of the dough and praying that the dough rises, it has always been a bit too much effort for my liking. To be perfectly honest, I never tried making crackers at home, but assumed the process was similar to bread so they were added to my “Store bought only” list without a second thought.

Fast forward to a few months after starting the Specific Carbohydrate Diet when I was craving crackers and desperate enough to try and make them at home. Lo and behold they are so easy to make! I currently have 4 or 5 different versions on rotation and each recipe takes less then 20 minutes to make start to finish. They are crisp, can be shaped to whatever size you prefer, require less then 3 minutes of preparation and are basically foolproof.

These Salt & Pepper Crackers are my absolute favorite. They are flavourful enough to be eaten on their own while not overpowering any dips or toppings you might eat with them. Plus they require just 5 ingredients, 4 of which I guarantee you have in your kitchen right now. I love eating these on their own, topped with pesto or cheese, or dipped in hummus. They are also delicious topped with Bacon & Caramelized Onion Jam!
