Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour, plus extra for dusting
- 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup Everything Bagel seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
Wet Ingredients
- 5 tablespoons olive oil
- 6 tablespoons warm water
Instructions
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, Everything Bagel seasoning, and salt. Set this dry mixture aside for now.
- Warm Oil and Water: In a small saucepan, gently heat the olive oil and warm water over low heat until the water just begins to simmer. Remove from heat. Warming these ingredients helps the flour absorb moisture and dissolves the sugar, aiding in dough formation.
- Mix Dough: Pour the warm oil and water mixture into the dry mix. Use a fork to bring everything together into an oily dough, ensuring all the liquid is absorbed. If the dough remains sticky, add a light dusting of flour to incorporate.
- Rest Dough: Set the dough ball aside and allow it to cool and rest for about 10 minutes until it reaches room temperature. Meanwhile, prepare two half-sheet pans lined with parchment paper and preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C).
- Roll Out Dough: Place a piece of parchment paper on your work surface. Divide the dough in half and work with one half at a time. Roll the dough out to about 1/8 inch thick, roughly the thickness of a penny. Dust lightly with flour as needed to prevent sticking, but avoid excessive flour.
- Cut Crackers: Using a ruler and a pizza cutter or pasta wheel, cut the dough into 1-inch wide strips. Then cut the strips perpendicular into 4-5 smaller cracker pieces. Transfer these onto the prepared parchment-lined baking sheets. The crackers will not spread in the oven so you can place them close together.
- Bake: Bake the crackers in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes. Swap the trays halfway through baking to ensure even cooking. Watch closely towards the end; your crackers are done when the edges and tops are slightly golden.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the crackers to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes. Serve with your favorite cheese, jam, or hummus, or enjoy them plain. Store leftover crackers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Notes
- These crackers are perfect as a savory snack or for adding crunch to a cheese board or lunch plate.
- Keep an eye on the crackers during baking to avoid over-browning.
- The dough is sticky at first but rolls out easier after resting and light dusting with flour.
- Use a pizza cutter or sharp knife for clean, straight cuts.
- Store crackers in an airtight container to maintain their crispness.
