Ingredients

• 1 cup Whole wheat flour
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Paprika
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (cold)
• 4 tablespoons Water (cold)
• 0.25 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0 optional Kosher salt (for sprinkling)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, sugar, salt, and paprika.

Step 3

Cut the cold unsalted butter into small cubes and add it to the dry mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Mix the cold water and vanilla extract together in a small bowl. Gradually add this mixture to the dough, stirring with a fork, until the dough just comes together.

Step 5

Turn the dough out onto a clean surface and knead it gently a few times to form a ball. Divide the dough into two portions for easier handling.

Step 6

Lightly flour a surface and roll out one portion of dough as thinly as possible (ideally 1/16-inch thick). Thin dough ensures crispy crackers.

Step 7

Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, cut the dough into small squares or rectangles (approximately 1.5 inches wide). Place the pieces onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving a little space between each cracker.

Step 8

Brush the crackers lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with kosher salt, if desired.

Step 9

Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Keep a close eye as they can burn quickly.

Step 10

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the crackers cool completely on the tray. They will continue to crisp up as they cool.

Step 11

Repeat with the second portion of dough.

Step 12

Store the cooled crackers in an airtight container for up to a week.
