Hi Bold Bakers!
Homemade cracker recipes may rarely or NEVER come cross your mind but these versions of your favorite store-bought crackers are such a perfect treat — and surprisingly easy to nail! Once you learn how to make crackers at home, you’ll never fear forgetting them at the grocery store again!
I can’t help myself. Once I realize I’m buying the same thing again and again, I have the urge to try to make it myself from scratch. Case and point: these three fantastic store-bought cracker copycat recipes!
With a few standard ingredients, you can swiftly re-create perfect store-bought crackers at home and know what goes into them! Perfect for any charcuterie and cheese board, make for a great grab-and-go snack, or serve as the ideal companion to hummus, dips, or a good bowl of soup.
Homemade Wheat Thins
My homemade Wheat Thins recipe is everything you love about the store-bought version: they’re delightfully crispy, slightly sweet, perfectly salty and flavorful thanks to whole wheat flour! These crackers are positively addicting!
I love serving these whole-grain crackers with my Blue Cheese Compound Butter. Get my Homemade Wheat Thins recipe!
Homemade Cheez-Its With Real Cheddar
Cheez-Its are one of our son Georgie’s favorites, so I really wanted to perfect a homemade version! I love knowing exactly what I’m serving my family.
My copycat Cheez-It crackers are made with real sharp cheddar cheese, giving them more protein and an even cheesier taste than their store-bought counterparts. You can even experiment with other hard cheeses with this recipe! Give them a go with Monterey Jack cheese, or add a bit of parmesan to your extra-sharp cheddar.
(Please note, ideally you’ll use a food processor to properly grind the cheese enough to make this dough but you can make it by hand with a little elbow grease.) Get my Homemade Cheese-Its recipe!
Buttery Homemade Ritz Crackers
My crunchy and salty Ritz Crackers recipe is made with real butter, unlike the store-bought version, giving you an unbelievably buttery taste! These bubbly crackers go perfectly with everything — serve them with your favorite fancy cheese or my Homemade Cream Cheese! If your house is anything like mine, you might want to double the batch because they go quickly! Get my Homemade Ritz Crackers recipe!
