Homemade Crackers

I stumbled upon this recipe, when Phil decided to make his famous artichoke dip but forgot to buy crackers, so we had to make a plan. Full disclosure, I can't get the seeds to stick to the top so I kneaded them into the dough - unlike the cremora add these are inside and not on top.

Ingredients

• 3 cups all-purpose flour, or a mix of all-purpose and whole grain flours

• 2 teaspoons sugar

• 2 teaspoons salt

• 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

• 1 cup water

• Optional topping: 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, 1 tablespoon fennel seeds, 1 tablespoon poppy seeds, 1 teaspoon sea salt

Method

1. Preheat Oven to 220 C

2. Whisk the flour, sugar and salt together in a bowl

3. Add oil and water and stir to form a soft, sticky dough. Add more water a tablespoon at a time if it remains floury

4. Divide the dough in half and shape into a square using your hands

5. Roll into a 1/8 inch thick rectangle

6. Brush the surface of the dough with water and add the topping

7. Cut into any shape you desire

8. Prick with a fork and transfer to a baking sheet

9. Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes until the edges brown, cool completely on a rack before storing in airtight container.

Happy Cooking!
