Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 grams Whole wheat flour
- 60 grams All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Baking powder
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 60 milliliters Water
- 1 tablespoon Optional toppings (e.g., sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or flaky salt)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Add the olive oil to the flour mixture and stir until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually pour in the water while stirring with a fork or spatula. Mix until the dough comes together.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it gently for 1-2 minutes until smooth.
Divide the dough into two portions for easier rolling. Roll each portion out very thin, about 2mm (1/16 inch) thick, using a rolling pin.
Transfer the rolled-out dough to the prepared baking sheet. Use a pizza cutter or sharp knife to score the dough into squares or rectangles, or use cookie cutters for fun shapes. Prick each cracker with a fork to prevent puffing during baking.
Brush the dough lightly with water and sprinkle your chosen toppings evenly over the surface, pressing them lightly to adhere.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the crackers are golden and crispy. Keep a close eye during the last few minutes to prevent burning.
Remove the crackers from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack. They will continue to crisp as they cool.
Store the crackers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. Enjoy them on their own or with your favorite dips and cheeses!
