I’ve been wanting to make these since forever. I love to try to master making simple pantry items homemade and I can now say, I’ve successfully tackled graham crackers

Yippee!

Now, my graham crackers aren’t as pretty as the boxed version and next time, I need to make them a little thinner. But, honestly, they are really delicious and quite easy to make.

What Supplies are Needed?

  • Mixing bowl + wooden spoon
  • Rolling pin
  • Flat rimmed baking sheet (s)- You will need 2. See the recipe card for the size/brand I used for mine. You will also need parchment paper or silicone mats for the pan (s).
  • Sharp knife or pizza cutter
  • Pastry brush
  • Skewer or a round-stick for poking holes in the dough. I used a lollipop stick. Again, see the recipe card for the size/brand.

How to Make Homemade Graham Crackers

  • Mix the dough just until it’s mixed ( don’t over mix). Once it’s mixed, knead it gently just a few times, then, cover the bowl and refrigerate the dough for 1 hour. You can chill the dough for longer, if needed/desired.
  • Once it’s chilled, remove from the refrigerator and divide it into two pieces. Take one piece of dough and on a floured surface, roll it out into a large flat piece. The thickness needs to be about 1/16 inches.
  • Place the piece of dough on prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the other piece of dough and place it on a separate baking sheet.
  • Brush the dough with milk, then, sugar/cinnamon topping.
  • Then, bake for 5 minutes. Rotate pans, bake another 5 minutes.
  • Remove pans from oven. Cut dough into rectangles and poke tops.
  • Place them back in the oven and bake for 10 minutes. Rotate pans, bake an additional 10 minutes.
  • Turn off the oven and open your oven door (don’t remove crackers!), just slightly. Leave it open for 3 minutes. Shut the oven door and leave crackers in the oven for 20 minutes to dry out.
  • Take them out of the oven and let the cool completely on a wire rack. They will crisp up as they cool. Be sure to keep them in a covered container for storage.

Storage

Keep in an airtight, covered container. No need for a refrigerator. They are best eaten with a week or two.
