Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
- 0.25 cups Olive oil
- 0.5 cups Cold water
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt flakes (for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, salt, baking powder, dried rosemary, dried thyme, and Parmesan cheese if using.
Add the olive oil and mix until the dough starts to form coarse crumbs.
Gradually add the cold water, a few tablespoons at a time, mixing as you go until the dough comes together into a smooth ball. You may not need all the water.
Divide the dough into two portions to make it easier to work with.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out one portion of the dough as thinly as possible, ideally about 1/16 inch thick, to achieve crispy crackers.
Using a knife, pizza cutter, or cookie cutter, cut the dough into your desired cracker shapes (squares, rectangles, or fun shapes). Transfer the cut crackers to one of the parchment-lined baking sheets.
Repeat the rolling and cutting process with the second portion of dough.
Lightly brush the tops of the crackers with a bit of olive oil and sprinkle sea salt flakes evenly over them.
Bake the crackers in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Keep a close eye on them, as they can go from golden to overdone quickly.
Remove the crackers from the oven and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. They will crisp up even more as they cool.
Store the cooled crackers in an airtight container for up to one week, and enjoy them as a snack or with your favorite dips and cheeses.
