"Pre-Made, Our Way." Challenge: Homemade Wheat Thins
First, I’ll show you how my Wheat Thins turned out…
I made three types: salted, sesame (pictured) and garlic herb. I tried to roll them out as thin as possible, which worked well on my Silpat with a plastic fondant roller (nothing sticks to it.. it’s amazing). The process was a little tedious for me, since I only have one Silpat and a teeny tiny oven, but I still enjoyed the results. My favorite were the sesame- those were addicting! I was glad that I salted the plain ones, because there wasn’t much to them.
This is definitely a recipe that begs for additions. I paired the crackers with a Tuscan white bean dip- I would post it, but I can’t remember everything I put in it. Overall, I liked making the crackers, but they just don’t have the shelf life that regular crackers do, making it less realistic that I’ll make them again.

Steph (my sweet, thrifty sister-in-law!) made Non-Wheat Thins for a Gluten-Free friend.

Charli made Lime Wheat Thins with Spicy BBQ Dip – what a great idea!

Kath made two types: honey wheat germ and parmesan herb- yum!
Thanks for baking with me, ladies! It’s only our first challenge, but I’m hoping we will grow as the months go by. I know of a few other participants (without blogs) who’ve yet to send me their photos, so I’ll be sure to post them here when I receive them. If you participated in this month’s challenge and aren’t included, please leave a comment and I’ll get you up here ASAP!
As for next month, I’ll be posting a recipe soon, but I’d love your input. Put your thinking caps on: think of the things we buy regularly at the store that we could recreate at home.. hopefully with less money and more love! I’ve been meaning to make homemade bagels for quite some time.. that might have to be the next challenge. Ideas, please, even if you didn’t participate this month. I want to pick a recipe that you’ll all want to make!
Oh bugger I never had time to make these. I hope I get to join in next time, these look tasty!
they all look so good. Great job!
These look really great! I agree about it a lot of work and going stale quickly though…If I do it again, I might make a half batch so I’m not putting them in and out of the oven all night. I love the sesame flavoring though!
Also, what about homemade cheese like mozzarella or ricotta? Or homemade pitas?
So what are we making next? 🙂
Very nicely done!
I was just talking to a friend Tuesday night about making bagels. I’m definitely going to try it soon. I also have a tried and true recipe for good granola and another not tried yet granola bars. Let me know if you want to take a look at them.
Thanks for sharing this info because is very good and i like to post like this.
