Homemade Everything Bagel Crackers
Ingredients
- ¾ cup whole wheat flour
- ¼ cup Bloom Boost
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons honey
- ¼ cup water, plus more if needed
- 1 tablespoon everything bagel seasoning
For the topping
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1–2 teaspoons everything bagel seasoning
- Flaky sea salt (optional)
How to Make High-Fibre Everything Bagel Crackers
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, stir together the whole wheat flour, Bloom Boost, salt, garlic powder, and everything bagel seasoning.
- Add the olive oil, honey, and water. Mix until a dough forms. If the dough feels dry, add water 1 teaspoon at a time until it comes together. To test if you've added enough water: Pinch off a small piece of dough and flatten it between your fingers. It should press together smoothly with only minimal cracking around the edges. If it crumbles apart, add water 1 teaspoon at a time until the dough holds together.
- Let the dough rest for 10 minutes. This allows the Bloom Boost to absorb the moisture, making the dough easier to roll.
- Place the dough on a sheet of parchment paper and roll it into a thin rectangle, about 2 mm thick. If your rolling pin sticks, lightly dust it with flour. If you prefer, you can begin rolling with a second sheet of parchment on top, then remove it once the dough has flattened.
- Brush the dough lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with additional everything bagel seasoning and flaky sea salt, if using.
- Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, score the dough into bite-sized squares. Dock (poke) each cracker once or twice with a fork to help prevent bubbling.
- Bake for 12–16 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through. If the crackers around the edges brown more quickly, remove them first and continue baking the remaining crackers until lightly golden.
- For extra crispy crackers, reduce the oven temperature to 300°F (150°C) and bake for an additional 5–8 minutes.
- Cool completely on a wire rack before breaking apart and storing.
Tips for the Best Homemade Crackers
- Roll the dough as thinly as possible. Thin crackers bake up crisp and crunchy.
- Let the dough rest. Bloom Boost contains ingredients like flax, chia, and psyllium, which absorb moisture and make the dough easier to work with after a short rest.
- Cool completely before storing. Even a little trapped steam can soften homemade crackers.
- Bake a few extra minutes at a lower temperature (like 300F) if you prefer an extra-crispy cracker.
Storage
Store the crackers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
If they lose a little crunch after a few days, simply place them in a 300°F (150°C) oven for 3–5 minutes, then allow them to cool completely before serving.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these crackers ahead of time?
Yes! These crackers are perfect for meal prep and can be stored in an airtight container for several days.
Can I freeze them?
Yes. Allow the crackers to cool completely, then freeze them in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to 3 months. Let them thaw at room temperature, or warm them in a low oven for a few minutes to restore their crispness.
Why did my crackers soften?
Homemade crackers naturally absorb moisture over time. Baking them a little longer at a lower temperature and allowing them to cool completely before storing will help keep them crisp.
