Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 6 tablespoons Cold water
- 2 tablespoons Optional toppings (e.g., sesame seeds, poppy seeds, flaky sea salt)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, and salt. Stir well to combine.
Add the olive oil to the flour mixture and mix until it forms a crumbly texture.
Gradually add the cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together into a firm, smooth ball. Avoid overmixing.
Divide the dough into two portions. Roll out each portion as thinly as possible onto a floured surface (aim for about 1/16 inch thick).
Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, cut the rolled-out dough into rectangular or square shapes. Transfer them carefully to the prepared baking sheet.
If desired, sprinkle optional toppings like sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or flaky sea salt onto the crackers and gently press them into the dough to adhere.
Bake the crackers in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are lightly golden and crispy. Keep an eye on them to avoid over-baking, as they can brown quickly.
Remove the crackers from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack. They will crisp up further as they cool.
Store the crackers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week and enjoy as a healthy snack or accompaniment to your favorite spreads!
