Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 + 1/2 teaspoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 3/4 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh rosemary, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon poppy seeds
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (plus more for sprinkling)
- 1 tablespoon roasted sunflower seeds
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 cup cold water
- Flaky sea salt or coarse salt for sprinkling
Step By Step Instructions To Make Flatbread Crackers
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees and adjust the oven rack to the center.
Step 2
To a stand mixer bowl, add all the dry ingredients. To blend everything together quickly, turn the machine on low speed and mix for 10 seconds. In a bowl, combine the olive oil and water. After mixing for two minutes, the dough should no longer stick to the bottom of the bowl.
Step 3
Roll the dough into a ball after removing it from the refrigerator. A sticky or moist texture is not desirable. Make sure your hands are lightly floured if it is. Knead the dough until it is no longer moist as you hold it. Make four equal pieces out of the ball.
Step 4
Start by transferring the first piece of dough to a large baking tray, lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Roll it out thinly with a rolling pin.
Step 5
This is of utmost importance! Keep the dough from bubbling up by pricking it all over with a fork. It’s better to prick more than less! On a baking tray, place the parchment paper or mat.
Step 6
Apply a light mist of cold water to the dough’s surface. As you sprinkle the flaky sea salt over the cracker dough, pinch and crush it between your fingers.
Step 7
You may want to sprinkle additional sesame seeds on top if your flatbread crackers become too salty.
Step 8
Bake the edges until they become lightly golden brown, 7-9 minutes. I take 8 minutes to complete this process in my oven. When the flatbread crackers have been baked for a while, the corners should be stiff when lifted with a spatula.
Step 9
Watch your crackers closely as they cook in the oven, as the edges tend to burn quickly. Lift the cracker after about three minutes and transfer it to a cooling rack. Approximately 10 minutes after it is poured, it should be completely cooled.
Step 10
The cracker can be broken up into several pieces as desired. Each piece will have its own unique shape! Having these homemade crackers on hand when you serve them is what makes them so interesting and delightful.
Step 11
Roll, bake, and snap the other three pieces of dough as well.
