I made these the other day an they turned out really good! This recipe is from the King Arthur Flour Whole Grain Baking Cook Book. I hope they don't mind me sharing their recipes. You can buy the cook book your self at http://www.kingarthurflour.com/.
Its a great book!
Heres the recipe for your very own homemade Wheat Thins!
1 3/4 cups Whole wheat flour, traditional or white whole wheat
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon of paprika
4 tablespoons of butter (1/2 stick)
1/4 cup water
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
additional salt for topping
TO MAKE THE DOUGH:
Combine the flour, sugar, salt and paprika in a medium bowl. Cut the butter into small pieces and mix it thoroughly, using your fingers, a pastry blender, a mixer or a food processor. Combine water and vanilla, and add to the flour mixture, mixing until smooth.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly grease baking sheets or line with Parchment Paper.
TO ROLL AND CUT THE DOUGH:
Divide the dough into four pieces; keep the other pieces covered while you work with one piece at a time.
Lightly flour your work surface and your rolling pin and roll the piece into a large rectangle which should be at least 12 inches square when trimmed. Keep your pin and surface evenly floured. Flip the dough frequently to keep it from sticking, but to much flour will make it difficult to roll. Keep rolling until you get the dough as thin as you can get it with out tearing, at least a 1/2 inch thick. Trim the dough to make even edges using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter and cut squares approximately 1 !/2 inches wide. Transfer squares to the prepared baking sheet; you can crowd them together as they don't expand while baking. Repeat with the remaining pieces of dough.
TO BAKE THE CRACKERS:
Bake the crackers, one sheet at a time until crisp and brown, 5 to 7 minutes. If some thinner crackers brown to quickly, remove them and return the remaining crackers to finish baking. These crackers bake quickly so watch them closely.
Remove crackers from oven an cool. Store in airtight containers.
