Homemade Crispy Crackers Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups (190g) all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder or onion powder (optional for flavor)
• 1/2 teaspoon dried herbs or seeds (e.g., poppy seeds, sesame seeds, or oregano)
• 1/4 cup (60ml) olive oil or melted butter
• 1/3 cup (80ml) water
• Extra salt for sprinkling (optional)

METHOD:

1. Set the oven’s temperature to 350°F (175°C).
2. Put parchment paper on a baking pan.
3. To make the dough, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, garlic powder (if using), and herbs or seeds in a big basin.
4. Stir in olive oil until crumbly.
5. Water should be added gradually while mixing to bring the dough together. It need to be both firm and flexible.
6. Roll Out the Dough: To make handling the dough simpler, divide it into two halves.
7. On a lightly floured surface, roll out one part until it is extremely thin, approximately 1/8 inch (3 mm) thick.
8. Cut out shapes using a knife or a circular cutter. Using a fork, make holes in each cracker to stop them from ballooning.
9. Bake: Arrange the crackers, a little apart, on the baking sheet that has been prepared.
10. If you like, add more salt on top.
11. Bake until golden and crispy, 12 to 15 minutes. To avoid burning, keep a constant eye on everything.
12. Cool: Place the crackers on a wire rack to allow them to cool fully. As they cool, they will get more crispier.
13. Serve: As a snack, eat them simply or with cheese or dips.
