I Tried Jennifer Garner’s 4-Ingredient Snack, and I Can’t Believe How Delicious It Is

Published on October 27, 2025

If you haven't checked out Jennifer Garner's "Pretend Cooking Show," let this delicious recipe be the nudge you need. Find the show on her Instagram, where Jennifer shares her favorite recipes and cooking tips. And like everything she does, they're fantastic. When I heard her family requests these shortcut pizza crackers weekly, I knew I had to put the recipe to the test. Here's what I thought of her go-to snack.

How to Make Jennifer Garner's Pizza Crackers

Here's how to make your own pizza crackers. Once you've got the basics down, experiment by topping the crackers with your favorite herbs, seasoning blends, and cheese.

1. Divide your pizza dough into four portions. Stretch your pizza dough as thin as possible, about 1/8 inch thick. You want it to be thin enough to bubble up as it bakes. We used purchased pizza dough from Trader Joe's for our crackers, and it worked beautifully.
2. Top with a drizzle of olive oil and herbs. We followed Jennifer's suggestion of dried rosemary, thyme, and flaky sea salt.
3. Bake at a very high heat (500°F) for about 8 to 10 minutes. Jennifer recommends keeping a close eye on the crackers, as they can burn very quickly. Ours cooked in closer to 6 to 7 minutes. Once cool, break into pieces or serve as one large cracker.
   

What Do Pizza Crackers Taste Like?

These crispy crackers are one of the best food mashups I've tried. Imagine a perfectly crisp thin-crust pizza with the savory flavor of herbs and salt. I found myself dunking them in marinara sauce for a quick snack. Next time, I'm going to serve some alfredo sauce with them as well. They would also be a great addition to a charcuterie board for the holidays or served alongside a quick salad or antipasto platter. Try making a batch and serving them with bruschetta dip and burrata cheese—yum!

Tips for Making Jennifer's Pizza Crackers

Here are a few things we discovered when testing Jennifer's recipe.

• We used store-bought pizza dough for our test, but you could also make a batch of homemade dough. Our all-purpose dough recipe is a great place to start.
• We found a pizza stone helped achieve the crispiest crackers. If you don't have one, a large sheet pan will work as well.
• Try experimenting with your seasonings. I think this recipe would be delicious with a sprinkle of Trader Joe's Alglio Olio Seasoning Blend or an everything bagel seasoning blend. This recipe is so easy to customize to your favorite flavors.
• These crackers store well at room temperature for 3 to 4 days.

The Verdict on Jennifer Garner's Pizza Crackers

I can totally see why Jennifer makes this recipe on repeat. It's such a quick and easy snack to whip up—and there are endless ways to serve the crackers. I tried the recipe again at home with my kids, and they devoured the crackers with just a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese on top. It's also a great way to use up purchased pizza dough if you've got it. I will definitely make this recipe again.
