Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 6 tablespoons Cold water
- 2 tablespoons Optional toppings (e.g., sesame seeds, poppy seeds, flaky sea salt)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, and salt. Stir well to combine.
Step 3
Add the olive oil to the flour mixture and mix until it forms a crumbly texture.
Step 4
Gradually add the cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together into a firm, smooth ball. Avoid overmixing.
Step 5
Divide the dough into two portions. Roll out each portion as thinly as possible onto a floured surface (aim for about 1/16 inch thick).
Step 6
Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, cut the rolled-out dough into rectangular or square shapes. Transfer them carefully to the prepared baking sheet.
Step 7
If desired, sprinkle optional toppings like sesame seeds, poppy seeds, or flaky sea salt onto the crackers and gently press them into the dough to adhere.
Step 8
Bake the crackers in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are lightly golden and crispy. Keep an eye on them to avoid over-baking, as they can brown quickly.
Step 9
Remove the crackers from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack. They will crisp up further as they cool.
Step 10
Store the crackers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week and enjoy as a healthy snack or accompaniment to your favorite spreads!
