crunchy5ingredientcheesecrackersYoghurt dough has taken the lunchbox scene by storm.  There’s hardly a day go by that I don’t see some variation of scrolls: savoury, sweet.  But who is using this dough to make bickies?  Um…we are!  Crunchy 5 ingredient cheese crackers are made with your trusty yoghurt dough! As you probably know, I’m a bit of a fan of bento style lunches.  I love making cute lunches for the kids, in the hope they they will eat more.

But I will not compromise on quality.  I will not buy tiny teddies or other conventional kid bickies.  They are not going in our lunchboxes.  So here we are, baking cute little butterflies out of yoghurt dough.  These are already kid aproved.  Master 2 has tonsillitis and has barely eaten a thing since Monday but ate 4.  So if he approves, I can guarantee Miss 4 will be loving these this afternoon after preschool.

I’ve used flaxseeds in these, but you could try chia or even poppy seeds or sesame seeds.  Or a mix.  I’ll try some more combinations over the next couple of weeks. You need a fair bit of flour for rolling these out, otherwise they will stick to your chopping board.

Now, don’t panic as they start to brown, you want them crunchy, so keep an eye around the 15 minute mark….and watch until they are crispy!

  1. This looks like a fantastic recipe. I’m always wanting to make my kids savoury biscuits instead of the store bought ones. Thanks for sharing at Thriving on Thursdays. I’m featuring this one at tomorrow’s party.
