Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (plus more for kneading and rolling)
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary (or other add-in) Optional flavoring
  • 2/3 cup water
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil (plus more for brushing on top)
  • Flaky sea salt (for topping)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and rosemary.
  2. Pour in the water and olive oil. Stir with a wooden spoon or silicone spatula until the dough comes together.
  3. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 1 to 2 minutes until it’s no longer sticky.
  4. Shape the dough into a ball, return it to the bowl, and cover with plastic wrap. Let rest for at least 10 minutes, up to 1 hour.
Baking
  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Cut the dough in half and roll one half out into a rectangle about 1/16th of an inch thick.
  3. Cut the rolled dough into small rectangles about 3 x 1.5 inches and transfer to the baking sheet.
  4. Repeat with the second half of the dough.
  5. Dock the crackers several times with a fork, brush with olive oil, and sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
  6. Bake for 9 to 12 minutes or until golden brown, rotating the sheet halfway through.
  7. Let the crackers cool on the baking sheet on a cooling rack.

Notes

Store crackers in an airtight container for up to 2 days. To re-crisp, bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes.
