Servings 12
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup whole wheat or white whole wheat flour
- 2 tbsp fresh chopped thyme, dill, or other herb of choice
- 1/2 tsp freshly gound black pepper
- 2 tsp sugar
- 2 tsp sea salt
- 4 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 cup water
- Olive oil, for brushing (optional)
- Flaked sea salt or other toppings (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F. Mix together the flours, chopped herb, pepper, salt and sugar in a food processor, pulsing to thoroughly combine.
- Add the olive oil, then slowly drizzle in the water while processing until dough starts to stick together.
- Gently form dough into a ball and cut in half. Let both halves rest for about 10 minutes.
- Lightly flour a work surface and roll out one half of the dough until very thin.
- Cut into squares or rectangles with a sharp knife or pizza cutter, or into 1 1/2-inch rounds with a biscuit cutter.
- Lay crackers out on a parchment-lined baking sheet. It’s okay to crowd them. Prick with a fork to keep from puffing up. Optional: brush with olive oil and sprinkle with flaked sea salt, garlic powder, or other toppings, if desired.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until crackers are starting to brown.
- Transfer crackers to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container up to 5 days.
