Ingredients
- 1 cup (130 g) flour
- 1/2 cup (70 g) whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon (4 g) sugar
- 1 teaspoon (4 g) kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup (125 mL) water
- 3 tablespoons (45 mL) olive oil
- Flaky sea salt, to garnish
- Seeds, chopped nuts, and/or chopped woody or dry herbs
Directions
- Heat your oven to 400º F.
- In a large bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, salt, and pepper. Add in the water and oil and stir into a dough. Turn the dough out onto your counter and knead lightly just to bring it together. TIP: Whole wheat flour can be substituted with other whole grain flour or even more all-purpose flour.
- Place the dough on a piece of parchment paper and roll it out to about eight of an inch thick. Transfer the parchment and dough to a baking sheet. Dampen your hands lightly with water and rub the top of the dough with your hands. Scatter with flaky sea salt and any seeds, nuts, and/or herbs you’d like, pressing down to adhere. Lightly score the surface, if desired (this will make for cleaner breaks after baking).
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown and very crisp. Allow the cracker to cool completely before breaking it up into pieces. Serve and enjoy!
