Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder until evenly combined.
Add the olive oil to the dry ingredients and mix until small crumbs form.
Gradually pour in the cold water while stirring until the dough starts coming together. Knead the dough gently until smooth (about 2-3 minutes).
Divide the dough into two portions for easier handling. Lightly flour your work surface and rolling pin.
Roll out each portion of dough as thinly as possible (almost paper-thin) to achieve the desired crispiness.
Carefully transfer the rolled-out dough to the prepared baking sheet. Use a knife or pizza cutter to cut the dough into rectangles or squares. You can also prick the crackers with a fork to prevent puffing during baking.
Sprinkle optional toppings like sea salt, sesame seeds, or poppy seeds over the crackers and gently press them into the dough.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes or until the crackers are golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning, especially around the edges.
Remove from the oven and allow the crackers to cool completely on a wire rack. They will crisp up further as they cool.
Store the crackers in an airtight container for up to 5 days and enjoy as a snack or with your favorite dips and spreads!
