Description
If you're making a charcuterie board, you'll want to bake these Homemade Rosemary Olive Oil Crackers. They're way better than store bought, and they only take about 30 minutes!
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup all purpose flour
- 3/4 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 cup cold water
- Flaky salt for topping
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375˚F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silpat.
- Add both flours, salt, sugar, garlic powder, rosemary, olive oil and water to a bowl. Use a fork to mix until a shaggy dough forms, then turn the dough out onto a clean surface.
- Knead the dough with your hands for about 5 minutes, until it forms a smooth ball. Divide the dough in half.
- Roll out each half into a large rectangle, about 1/16-inch thick (it should be very thin).
- Using a fluted pastry cutter (or a knife), cut the crackers into thin rectangles about 6 inches long and 1 1/2 inches wide.
- Carefully transfer to the prepared sheet pans. Sprinkle the tops with flaky salt. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the bottom is golden brown. (The baking length will depend on how thin you rolled your dough).
- Let cool completely before enjoying.
Notes
If you want to make the dough ahead of time, you can knead it, then wrap it in plastic wrap and store in the fridge for a few days before you bake it. You could also cut out the finished crackers and freeze or store in the refrigerator before baking.
To store, keep in an airtight container and enjoy within about a week. They may start to lose their crispness the longer they sit. You can also freeze the crackers for up to a month.
Rosemary: If rosemary isn't your thing, try substituting it out for an equal amount of thyme. You can also leave out the herbs completely.
Flour: If you don't have any whole wheat flour, you can use 100% all-purpose and the crackers should turn out just fine.
Seasonings on top: We just sprinkled ours with flaky salt, but you can get fancy with sesame seeds, dried herbs, or everything bagel seasoning.
If you want your crackers to have a nice snap, be sure to roll them out pretty thin. If you have a silicone mat that has a design on it, you should be able to just start seeing it through the dough. For each half of the dough, we were able to roll out a rectangle that was about 13" x 10", give or take an inch or two.
