Ingredients
1 cup (130 grams) all-purpose flour
1/2 cup (70 grams) whole wheat flour (see Cook’s Note)
1 teaspoon (4 grams) sugar
1 teaspoon (4 grams) kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup (125 milliliters) water
3 tablespoons (45 milliliters) olive oil
Flaky sea salt
Seeds, chopped nuts and/or chopped woody or dry herbs
Directions
- Heat your oven to 400 degrees F.
- Stir together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, sugar, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Add in the water and oil and stir into a dough. Turn the dough out onto your counter and knead lightly just to bring together.
- Place the dough on a piece of parchment paper and roll out to about 1/8 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 until golden brown and very crisp, 15 to 20 minutes. Allow the cracker to cool completely before breaking up into pieces.
Cook’s Note
The whole wheat flour can be substituted with other whole grain flours or even more all-purpose flour.
