Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup whole wheat flour
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 cup water
- 2 tablespoons optional toppings (sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or coarse salt)
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, and baking powder. Stir to combine.
Add the olive oil to the dry mixture and stir until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add water, a little at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. It should be firm but not sticky.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 1-2 minutes until smooth.
Divide the dough into two equal portions. Roll out one portion as thin as possible, about 1/16 of an inch, for a crisp cracker.
Using a pizza cutter or knife, slice the rolled dough into small square or rectangular cracker shapes.
Transfer the cut crackers onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between them.
Repeat the rolling and cutting with the second portion of dough.
If desired, lightly brush the crackers with water and sprinkle with your choice of toppings (sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or coarse salt).
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the crackers are golden brown and crisp. Rotate the sheets halfway through baking for even cooking.
Remove from the oven and allow the crackers to cool completely on the baking sheets. They will become crisper as they cool.
Store the cooled crackers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
