Cracked Pepper Crackers

These homemade crackers are made with cracked pepper, tomato juice, horseradish, and seasonings.

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Chill: 1 hour
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour 25 minutes

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon crushed peppercorns
1 tablespoon salt
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 tablespoons horseradish
2 teaspoons Tabasco sauce
2 cups tomato juice
7 cups bread flour

Instructions:

Mix the cracked pepper and salt in large bowl, then add the rest of the ingredients except for the flour. Mix until the ingredients are thoroughly mixed. Work in the flour 1 cup at a time. (If you are mixing by hand, you may not be able to work in all the flour.) Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill for 1 to 4 hours.

Preheat oven to 350°. On a sheet of lightly floured waxed paper, place a portion of the dough. Top with plastic wrap and roll the dough as thin as it will go. Cut into squares and place on parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake for approximately 8-10 minutes. The tomato color will yellow a bit and the crackers will be quite crisp when they are done.
