Ingredients for these crackers

Making the dough start with preparing all the ingredients. The list is short:

  • FRESH ROSEMARY: Use wooden cutting board and sharp knife to finely chop fresh rosemary leaves. Fresh rosemary leaves release the aromatic oils to the dough (check also baked sweet potato wedges aromatised with rosemary).

  • PLAIN FLOUR: This recipe calls for plain flour but you can also use whole wheat flour or combo of these two.

  • SALT: A pinch of fine sea salt upgrade the flavour.

  • BLACK GROUND PEPPER: It gives an extra kick.

  • OLIVE OIL: Use quality extra-virgin olive oil. Shop only the best Italian olive oils.

  • WATER: Room temperature water bind everything together.

STEPS FOR MAKING ROSEMARY FLATBREAD CRACKERS:

For this recipe you'll need one bowl. This ceramic mixing bowls with high sides, a stable base and handles that keeps things sturdy, are ideal for mixing, whisking and kneading.

Stir together plain flour, salt, ground black pepper and chopped rosemary leaves in the bowl.

Make a well in the middle, then add olive oil. Start slowly pouring the water (this kitchen jug is great for measuring the liquids), while stirring the flour continuously until the dough start to form.

Next, knead with your hands the dough for a few minutes while all the flour is incorporated. You should get a soft dough ball. We are done!

Shaping these crackers is easy

For shaping these crackers, the essential tool is proper rolling pin. First form the log from the dough, then cut into 12 equal pieces. Take each piece, roll into ball then on a lightly floured surface roll out very thin (less then 1mm). 

USEFUL TIP! Keep both your work surface and rolling pin floured so the dough doesn't stick.

Transfer crackers onto baking sheet (lined with baking paper). You will need to do this into 2-3 batches, depending how large is your baking sheet.

Crackers will become lightly brown and bubbled on the surface, this take 8-10 minutes. They are ready to be enjoyed!
