Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 cups cold water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon coarse salt or seeds (optional, for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, salt, and baking powder until well combined.
Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and add it to the dry ingredients. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to incorporate the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Slowly add the cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing with a fork until the dough comes together. Do not overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it a few times to bring it together. Divide the dough into two equal portions for easier handling.
Roll out one portion of dough as thinly as possible, approximately 1/8-inch thick, on a floured surface. Transfer the rolled-out dough to one of the prepared baking sheets.
Using a sharp knife, pizza cutter, or cookie cutter, cut the dough into your desired cracker shapes. Repeat with the second portion of dough on the second baking sheet.
Lightly brush the surface of the crackers with olive oil and sprinkle with coarse salt or seeds if desired.
Bake the crackers in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Rotate the baking sheets halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.
Allow the crackers to cool completely on the baking sheets before breaking them apart along the cut lines. Store in an airtight container for up to one week.
