Making your own ‘fancy’ crackers at home is a fairly basic operation, and not only will they be less expensive than store-bought, but you can customize them any way you want. Please pay attention to your baking time.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon white sugar
- ½ cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- ½ cup cold water
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary
Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with a silicon mat or parchment paper.
Step 2
Place flour, salt, sugar, and grated cheese in a mixing bowl. Stir together until well mixed. Add rosemary; drizzle with olive oil and add water. Mix with a fork until mixture comes together in a fairly sticky dough and pulls away from the sides of the bowl, 3 to 5 minutes.
Step 3
Transfer dough onto floured surface and add flour as you knead the dough. Knead until it no longer sticks to work surface, 4 to 5 minutes. Divide dough in half.
Step 4
Dust work surface with flour. Roll out dough to 1/8-inch thickness or less. Brush or mist surface of dough very lightly with water. Sprinkle with coarse sea salt. Prick the entire surface of dough with the tines of a fork to prevent crackers from puffing too much when baking.
Step 5
Cut each rolled out half into about 30 pieces with a pizza wheel. You can cut them out in squares, rectangles, or triangles–your choice. Transfer onto prepared baking sheet with a bench scraper or your floured fingers (dough will be very sticky).
Step 6
Bake in preheated oven until perfectly browned and crunchy, 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the thickness.
Chef’s Note:
My 12- to 15-minutes baking time is just a rough guess, and it will depend on the thickness of your dough. I would start checking at 10 minutes and go from there.
