- 3 cups white flour (I use bread flour)
- 1 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1/4 cup olive oil or melted butter
- 1 cup water
- Optional Seasonings: Sesame Seeds, Garlic Powder, Poppy Seeds, or Dill Weed
- Optional: You can also add 1-1/4 cup grated cheese in a blender on "pulse" to crumble it and add to the dough while mixing the dough. This would give you cheesy crackers. Yummy!
-
Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C). Grease a cookie sheet or use parchment paper and set aside.
-
Place the flour in a medium-sized bowl. Add the sugar, salt, water, and olive oil. Mix until it's ready to knead on the counter.
-
It takes minimal kneading. You mix, knead, and roll out the dough. Easy peasy.
-
Next, roll the dough into a circle, square, or rectangle, keeping it as thin as possible, ideally 1/8 inch thick or less on a floured countertop.
-
Now it's time to cut the dough into the desired shapes, such as diamonds, rectangles, or squares. Use a knife or pizza cutter and place them on the cookie sheet.
-
You must prick each cracker with a fork to stop the crackers from rising in the oven.
-
Bake the crackers for 14-16 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. The crackers become crispier as they cool.
