Equipment

- Wooden spoon or silicone spatula
- Rolling Pin
- Baking sheets 2 recommended
- Parchment paper
- Sharp knife or pizza cutter
- Fork for docking
- Measuring cups and spoons
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Baking powder
- 1/3 cup Olive oil
- 1/2 cup Cold water, add gradually
- 1 tbsp Fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 1/2 tsp Coarse sea salt
- 2 tbsp Everything bagel seasoning
- 1 Egg white
- 1/2 cup Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 tsp Dried thyme
- 1/2 tsp Garlic powder
- 2 tbsp Black sesame seeds
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp Smoked paprika
Instructions
Preheat Oven
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. This ensures even baking and helps the crackers crisp up nicely from the start.
Make Dough
- In a large bowl, mix flour, salt, and baking powder. Add olive oil and mix until crumbly. Slowly add cold water until dough forms, then stop mixing.
Divide Dough
- Divide dough into four equal portions. Keep each portion covered while working to prevent drying. This helps you create all four flavors easily and evenly.
Rosemary Sea Salt Crackers
- Mix rosemary into one dough portion and roll thin. Brush with olive oil, sprinkle sea salt, dock with fork, and cut into small rustic cracker shapes.
Everything Bagel Crackers
- Knead everything bagel seasoning into second dough. Roll thin, brush with egg white, sprinkle extra seasoning, dock well, and cut into even cracker shapes.
Cheddar Herb Crackers
- Mix cheddar, thyme, and garlic powder into third dough. Roll thin, dock thoroughly, and cut into squares. Bake until golden with crisp cheesy edges.
Black Sesame Garlic Crackers
- Mix sesame seeds, garlic powder, and paprika into fourth dough. Roll thin, dock well, and cut into strips or diamonds for a flavorful savory cracker.
Bake Crackers
- Arrange crackers on baking sheets in a single layer. Bake 12 to 16 minutes until edges are golden and crackers are crisp and fully dry.
Cool Completely
- Cool crackers on baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire rack. Let them cool fully, as they become crispier while cooling completely.
Notes
- Roll dough as thin as possible for maximum crunch
- Dock crackers well to prevent puffing
- Cool completely for best crisp texture
- Store in airtight container for up to 1 week
- Re-crisp in oven at 300°F for 5 minutes if needed
