And as if you needed more reasons to make these delicious gluten free crackers, homemade always saves you money, too! If you peruse your grocery store shelves and look at prices for store-bought gluten free crackers (if you can find some you like), you’ll find they range in price from around .60/ounce to upwards of $1.30/ounce. 

Now compare that with the ingredients in this simple recipe. The only real cost is the premium gluten free flour — which is essential to making these crackers taste so great and the dough so pliable and easy to work with — gfJules Flour is around .29/ounce

Impressive and less expensive. I’d say that’s a gluten free recipe win!

Plus, as my husband likes to point out, when you make these crackers yourself, you can make them whatever flavors YOU want — have it your way, as they say.

I like seeds, lots of salt and herbs, but I can’t do onion and garlic. Easy to make it my way! What’s your way?

And with fresh herbs baked into the crackers, they’re not only full of flavor, they’re pretty, too!

Lest you think these crackers are difficult to make, think again! The one-bowl recipe couldn’t be easier to mix — make with the paddle attachment on a stand mixer or simply mix with a fork. With my gfJules Gluten Free All Purpose Flour, the dough is a dream to roll out, cut and lift before baking. And the results speak for themselves: light, crispy and full of flavor!

Once the dough is mixed, just roll out to no thicker than 1/8 inch:

then cut into cracker shapes and sizes that suit you:

then lift to transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet, spritz with water so toppings will stick, and prick with a fork to prevent lots of air bubbles from forming during the bake.

Twelve minutes later, these beauties are ready for dipping! Perhaps with some homemade pumpkin hummus or yummy pesto? Maybe an easy spinach dip from my friend Chrystal at GlutenFreePalate or even cheesy bean dip from my friend Michelle at MyGluten-FreeKitchen. Whatever the dip, these crackers make the party!

Homemade Gluten Free Crackers Recipe

Yield: approximately 100 crackers, depending on size
Prep Time: 30 minutes
Cook Time: 12 minutes
Total Time: 42 minutes

This homemade gluten free crackers recipe is one you'll return to again and again. Have some fresh rosemary? Company coming soon? Need an impressive (but easy) dish to bring to a party? This simple, one bowl recipe is your answer!

Ingredients

  • 1½ cups (202.5 grams) gfJules Gluten Free All Purpose Flour + more for dusting
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary (about 1 sprig)
  • ÂĽ teaspoon cracked black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon honey or agave nectar
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or other neutral tasting oil
  • ½ cup + 3 Tablespoons water
  • 1 tablespoon toppings of choice (sesame seeds, fennel seeds, poppy seeds, coarse sea salt, cracked black pepper, parmesan cheese, nutritional yeast, etc.)

Instructions

    Preheat oven to 425°F.

    Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

    In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together gfJules Flour, salt, rosemary and black pepper. Slowly add honey, oil and water, stirring until dry ingredients are incorporated and a dough is formed. (Add only as much water as needed for dough to hold together; it should not be super-sticky.)

    Divide dough in half. Cover one half with plastic wrap and set aside while rolling out remainder of dough.

    Dust a pastry mat or clean counter with gfJules Flour. Roll dough in the flour and pat gently to flatten. Dust top of dough with more gfJules Flour.

    From the center out, roll the dough out into a thin, even sheet, no more than 1/8-inch thick. Brush or spray lightly with water. Sprinkle toppings of choice over dough.

    Using a pizza cutter, pastry wheel or a sharp knife, cut dough horizontally and then vertically to form crackers. Prick each segment with a fork to prevent puffing during baking.

    Roll out remaining half of dough in the same way.

    Place crackers in preheated oven and bake 12 minutes or until edges begin to brown.

    Remove to cool on a wire rack. Crackers will get crisper as they cool. Break crackers apart at cut edges, if necessary.

    Store crackers in airtight containers.

  1. Hi. I make this recipe minus the honey and it works well. I always roll my crackers with my pasta machine. I normally go down to number five and this gives me a really nice light crispy cracker. Before baking I prick the crackers with a fork.

    • I love that you make this gluten free cracker recipe with your pasta machine, Doreen — that’s brilliant! Thanks so much for sharing that tip! Next time you make them, share a picture too, if you get a chance!!

    • Hi Joe, that sounds tasty! I’d suggest 1/4-1/2 cup of cheddar powder (depending on brand, they can vary on intensity) and then see how it goes with needing to add more water in order to keep the dough soft and rollable. Know that you’ll likely need to add more water to counter the dry powder you’ve just added and that’s ok. Let me know how it goes!

  2. Help, I made these GF crackers yesterday and they are like chewing old shoe leather. I really like the taste, but they are not crispy. What did I do wrong?

    • Oh dear, Geri! That’s not right at all! Did you use my gfJules Flour? That’s the first question, as it really is important in a recipe like this where the flour is the main ingredient. After that I would say to make sure you didn’t over-work the dough and then make sure you rolled it very thin, so it could get nice and crispy. Did you also bake on parchment?

      • That may have been my first mistake, I will order your flour next time. I think they needed to be thinner, and I will try the parchment next time. Will try making again using your suggestions. Thank you!

        • Of course, Geri! Happy to help! I don’t want you to give up on the recipe — all those things make a huge difference, but especially the flour! Let me know how it goes!!!

  3. I want a cracker that is more like a plain Saltine cracker. Can the Rosemary and pepper be left out to get a plain cracker? Thanks

    • Hi Anna-Lynn, can you do coconut? Coconut nectar is a good sub here, or you could use date syrup. Maple is another option, but both date and maple will have a stronger sweet flavor that will come through in the crackers. Hope that helps!
