Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose white wheat flour and the salt. Stir until well mixed.
Create a well in the center of the flour mixture. Add the olive oil and water into the well. Mix until the dough begins to come together.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead gently for a few minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic. If the dough feels too dry, add a little more water, a teaspoon at a time. If it’s too wet, sprinkle a bit more flour.
Divide the dough in half for easier handling. Roll one half out as thinly as possible — ideally to about 1/16-inch thickness. The thinner you roll the dough, the crisper your crackers will be.
Using a pizza cutter, knife, or cookie cutter, cut the rolled-out dough into desired shapes (squares, rectangles, or any shape you prefer). Transfer the cut pieces to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart. Repeat with the remaining half of the dough.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake for 10-15 minutes until the crackers are golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them, as baking times can vary. Rotate the baking sheet halfway through the baking time to ensure even browning.
Remove the crackers from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack. Once completely cooled, store the crackers in an airtight container to keep them crisp.
Tips:
- For extra flavor, you can add herbs such as rosemary, thyme, or oregano to the dough.
- Roll the dough as thinly as possible to ensure the crackers bake evenly and turn out extra crispy.
- If you like a bit of a kick, sprinkle some cracked black pepper or flaky sea salt on top before baking.
- Use silicone baking mats or parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Store the cooled crackers in an airtight container to keep them fresh and crispy for several days.
Making olive oil crackers from scratch is a rewarding and straightforward process that results in a delicious, healthy snack. By following these tips and experimenting with different flavors, you can create your own perfect batch of homemade crackers. Enjoy them fresh from the oven or store them for later – either way, you're in for a treat!
