Preheat your oven to 180Β°C (350Β°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, poppy seeds, salt, and baking powder. Stir well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Add the olive oil to the dry ingredients and mix until the mixture has a crumbly texture.
Slowly pour in the water, mixing as you go. Stir until a firm dough forms. If the dough feels too dry, add a teaspoon more water at a time until it comes together.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead it gently for 1-2 minutes until smooth.
Divide the dough into two portions for easier handling. Roll out one portion of dough as thin as possible (around 1-2mm thickness) using a rolling pin.
Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, slice the dough into small squares or rectangles. Alternatively, use cookie cutters for decorative shapes.
Place the cut crackers onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat the rolling and cutting process with the second portion of dough.
Optional: Sprinkle the crackers lightly with flaky sea salt for extra flavor before baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the crackers are golden brown and crisp. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
Remove the crackers from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet. They will crisp up further as they cool.
Store the poppy seed crackers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. Serve and enjoy!
