Bacon Pecan Crackers!

Ingredients

• 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 4 pieces bacon fried crisp and finely chopped*
• 1/2 cup pecans finely chopped
• 1/2 cup buttermilk
• 1/4 cup cooking oil
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• Oil and coarse salt for baking

Instructions

1. Heat oven to 400F
2. Lightly oil and salt baking sheets, using about 1 teaspoon of oil per sheet. (Parchment will make the clean up easier.)
3. In a medium bowl, combine white flour, wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, brown sugar, and salt. Add the bacon and pecans. Toss to combine.
4. In a small bowl or measuring cup, combine the buttermilk, oil, water, and Worcestershire sauce. Add to dry ingredients and stir well. Place dough on generously floured surface and knead a few times. Dough should be soft but not sticky.
5. Working with 1/4 of the dough at a time, roll between sheets of parchment, flouring the parchment if necessary. Roll as thin as possible. Use cookie cutters to cut out shapes. (Cut shapes close together; each time you re-roll, the dough will get more elastic and harder to roll out.) Place crackers on prepared baking sheets, using a thin, flat spatula. They can be close, but not touching.
6. Bake for 5 minutes. Remove pan from oven and turn the crackers over. Return to oven and bake for additional 4-5 minutes, depending on how thin your dough was rolled. Remove from oven when crackers are a rich light brown. Cool on racks.
7. For very crunchy crackers, once all have been baked, turn off oven and leave the door open for 30 seconds. Place all of the crackers on a baking sheet and return to oven, close the door, and let them sit in the oven for a couple of hours to dry completely.
