Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 cups Butter (cold, cubed)
• 5 tablespoons Cold water
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cayenne pepper, paprika, salt, and garlic powder. If desired, add the crushed red pepper flakes for extra heat.

Step 3

Add the cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Gradually add the cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. The dough should be firm but not sticky.

Step 5

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Roll it out evenly to about 1/8-inch thickness.

Step 6

Using a knife or a pizza cutter, cut the dough into small square or rectangular shapes. You can also use a cookie cutter for fun shapes.

Step 7

Place the cut pieces onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a small gap between each cracker.

Step 8

Using a fork, prick holes into the surface of each piece to prevent them from puffing up during baking.

Step 9

Brush the tops of the crackers lightly with olive oil for added flavor and crispiness.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the crackers are golden brown and crisp.

Step 11

Remove the crackers from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack before serving.

Step 12

Store in an airtight container for up to a week for optimal freshness.
