Ingredients

  • 1 ⅔ cups (200 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon (1 teaspoon) salt
  • 1 teaspoon (1 teaspoon) sugar
  • 3 (3) sprigs fresh thyme leaves, finely chopped
  • 2 teaspoon (2 teaspoon) cracked black pepper
  • A large pinch of cayenne pepper
  • ½ cup (115 ml) water
  • 2 tablespoon (2 tablespoon) olive oil
  • 1 (1) beaten egg, for brushing
  • Optional Toppings: Za’atar, fennel seeds, mixed seeds, onion seeds, caraway seeds

Instructions

Preheat the Oven

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Prepare the Dough

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the flour, salt, sugar, chopped thyme, cracked black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
  • In a separate bowl, mix the water and olive oil.

Mix and Knead

  • With the paddle attachment on the mixer, slowly add the water-oil mixture to the dry ingredients while the mixer is running.
  • Once the dough comes together, form it into a square shape.

Cut and Roll

  • Divide the square dough into 4 equal blocks.
  • Roll each block out to your desired thickness on a floured surface.

Add Toppings and Prick

  • Brush the surface of the rolled dough with a beaten egg.
  • Sprinkle your choice of seeds or za’atar over the dough.
  • Using a fork, prick the surface of the dough to prevent excessive puffing.

Bake

  • Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes or until the crackers are golden and start to crisp up.

Cut and Cool

  • Once out of the oven, cut the baked dough into squares, triangles, or any shape you like.
  • The crackers will continue to crisp as they cool. Allow them to cool completely before storing.

Notes

  • Pricking: Make sure to thoroughly prick the crackers to avoid puffing and to achieve a flat, crisp texture.
  • Herb Variations: Feel free to experiment with different herbs like rosemary or oregano for varied flavors.
  • Optional Toppings: For an extra burst of flavor, consider using flavored oils for brushing or gourmet salts for sprinkling.
