Rosemary and Garlic Crackers – HOW TO MAKE CRACKERS AT HOME! These homemade Rosemary and Garlic Crackers are the best crackers I have ever had!
I think I know exactly why these are called CRACKers. I OD’d on these babies. Hardcore.
I wasn’t alone. Ana, my lil’ one, was in the room with me. She was on one side of the baking sheet and I was on the other. Eating.
Can you imagine an almost two-year old with garlic breath? 
I wish I had a photo to share of our moment with the baking sheet, but I was too busy. Eating.
Usually I make these into long sticks, or twists, and top them with sesame seeds or poppy seeds. That’s the Macedonian way. This time around I wanted to Americanize them, so I cut them in squares. Then I Italianized them and added garlic and rosemary.
Hope you love them as much as Ana and I did.
- CRACKERS
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 3 to 4 teaspoons dried rosemary
- 2/3 cup warm water
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- TOPPING
- Garlic Powder
- Preheat oven to 400.
- Grease two baking sheets with cooking spray and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and rosemary.
- In a separate bowl mix together the water and olive oil; add it to the flour mixture.
- Stir it all together until you get a smooth dough. Cut the dough in half, one for each baking sheet.
- Using your hands and fingers flatten the dough onto the bottom of the baking sheet. Get it as flat and as thin as possible. Do the same with the other dough ball.
- Sprinkle garlic powder on top then cut the dough into squares with a pizza cutter.
- Bake for 12 to 14 minutes.
- Cool for 10 minutes.
- Serve.

Just made these last night and tasted great — but I had trouble spreading the dough out in the pan. Dough seemed tough and it didn’t spread well, kept tearing/ripping so that I couldn’t fill the pans. Any suggestions for helping the dough be more pliable?
Hi Teri!
This just depends on how large the baking sheet/pan was. Sometimes I will make them on a jellyroll pan and the dough can’t cover even half of it, other times I use a 9×13 pan and that one seems to work better. Just stretch it out as far as it goes and let it be. 😀
Great recipe! I experimented and used white wine instead of water and added crushed chili peppers for an extra kick!
Can these be made with whole wheat flour instead?
HI Julie!! I haven’t tried making these with whole wheat flour, but I would advise on using half wheat and half all-purpose flour, otherwise wheat flour alone would make your baked products denser and heavier. Hope that helps!!
Can these be made ahead of time? If so how long will they stay fresh? They look delicious!!
Hi Diana! Yes, you can absolutely make these ahead – they will keep fresh for 2 to 3 days. Just make sure they stay covered. Enjoy!
Look pretty good and from the recipe I’m pretty sure I may end up getting hooked too.
I made crackers very similar to these and they were wonderful. But they didn’t have the garlic powder so I will definitely experiment with that next. Thanks so much!
Kate… how you capture my heart and my stomach!
Mmm. rosemary…. I can’t imagine these lasting long here. I am a sucker for rosemary in pretty much anything. I have been on a light cheese and cracker kick lately. Ill slice off just enough for one cracker and munch gleefully to come back a few hours later and do it again. These look perfect. I have never tried crackers before but theres always a first time for everything.
Oh I would be eating these like nobody’s business! Mmm!
These look great! I’ve never made homemade crackers, but these inspired me to give it a try.
Oh they look so yummy I think I would love to join you and Ana 😀 and OD on them LOL
I had never made crackers before & then I saw this and had to give it a try! I didn’t have rosemary or garlic powder to hand so put some chives in the mix instead and they turned out beautifully! I was very surprised how easy to make and yummy they were! Could easily be adapted to any flavour you should desire. Thanks so much for posting this recipe x
Hi Emma!!
You are very welcome! I am so glad that you enjoyed them!! 🙂
These look so delicious! I can’t wait to see them disappear from my kitchen!
I love these bookmarking have a tuscan bean dip perfect for these for The 4th cant wait to try them!
Oh, these are awesome!!! I adore the rosemary – garlic combination and your crackers look just perfect!!
wow.. I love this!! herb snack.. I’m in ! 😀
Yum! I love rosemary and garlic, will have to make these soon!
Wonderful! Definitely going to try this dough…sounds like a great base for lots of different flavors. I bet these would be delicious with some White Bean Rosemary dip!!
love these crackers. so flavorful and you make it sound so simple as well.:-) That sounds great for my friday movie night at home. Thanks for sharing.
You had me at rosemary and garlic, because it’s one of my favourite flavour combos. Your crackers look delicious!
this Macedonian Italian American :d crackers look delish. I can imagine you and Ana eating them straight from the baking sheet. What a pretty image.
Thanks for sharing Kate 🙂 hope you’re having a wonderful Friday
Oh that sounds like an awesome cracker recipe, Kate! I am sure my almost 2 year old would love it too 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
No butter…I’m in!
Ohhhh Kate! Can I have another side of the baking tray (there are 4 right… so who’s going to be the lucky 4th sharing?)? These sound like a must try snack!!! They look delicious!
I love those crackers! Your kitchen must have smelled really wonderful while baking them..
Oh yes, these will do nicely!! Love the savory flavors and the garlic in particular. These are a must try!
BTW… we loved the Whole Wheat Focaccia the other night, but I messed up and totally forgot about it until 15 minutes before dinner. I rolled it out and basically it turned out like cracker bread, but the flavor was awesome! Will try again, with proper planning soon!
Rest assured, I now have big plans to OD on these over the weekend.
Isn’t that the best part about cooking or baking with your kids? the special memories and laughs…these look heavenly 🙂
I have never made crackers before but I will have to try them soon after seeing how wonderful your ones look. I bet I won’t be able to stop eating them either. Garlic breath here I come!
Oooh I have a cheese that would go great with these crackers. Please send crackers ASAP! 🙂 These sound great kate, I can only imagine your little one with garlic breath. Too cute!
These look great! I like the idea of twists with seeds too – a versitile dough. Yum!
I would eat soooo many of these.
I’m adding these to my recipe arsenal right now, I love garlic breath!!
An almost 2 year old with garlic breath! LOL! These look awesome Kate
Man oh man I’m a sucker for anything garlicky… and the combo of rosemary and garlic is just an added bonus. I’m definitely bookmarking this recipe, although I might do it the Macedonian way because twists sound like fun!
These crackers look amazing! Thank
I’ve only made homemade crackers once and forgotten how good they were – these look terrific – your little girl is so lucky to have a mom making homemade crackers for her!
you really are a domestic goddess, aren’t’ you! Homemade crackers–they look awesome. 🙂
Rosemary and olive oil is a difficult combination to resist… I’m glad Ana was there to share it with you, garlic breath and all! 🙂
Oh, these DO look addictive, Kate! What fabulous cracker…and had to smile at Ana’s garlic breath…too cute.
Sorry for my typing mistakes, grrrrr…. I meant: I am NOTING this recipe!
I am toing this recipe. Rosemary and garlic, a good combination of flavors. Highly addictive 🙂
These look incredibly addictive 🙂
I am generally not a fan of dried herbs bu I have to say dried rosemary combined with garlic always works well in dishes like this.
These look really good and should be awesome with some great spreads! They’re like skinny flatbreads!
Garlic breath is easily forgotten about as additional crackers are eaten! I have never made crackers before but there is always a first-these are inspiring. Yum!
Sounds like an International success!! I love these. I have made crackers before and they are so much better than store bought. I can hardly wait to try these!
Homemade crackers? No way!!
The combination of rosemary and garlic is one of my all time fav. These crackers would definitely taste awsm .. I would love to enjoy them with some soup 🙂
These crackers look amazing!! I was looking for an easy recipe to add to my party menu for this weekend and these are perfect!
Oh these wouldn’t last 10 minutes in our house. Delicious! Our daughters would get along well (either that or fight over crackers!). LOL!
My jaw hurts reading this. We would inhale these!!!
