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
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, Everything Bagel seasoning, and salt. Set aside to prepare the wet ingredients.
- Heat Wet Ingredients: In a small saucepan, gently heat the olive oil and warm water together on low until the water just begins to simmer. Remove from heat. This step helps the flour absorb moisture and dissolves the sugar for better dough consistency.
- Form the Dough: Pour the warm olive oil and water mixture into the dry ingredients. Use a fork to bring the mixture together into an oily dough. If the dough feels too wet, add a light dusting of flour until it holds together.
- Rest the Dough: Set the dough ball aside to cool to the touch, about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 400°F and prepare two half sheet pans lined with parchment paper.
- Roll and Cut the Dough: Place a piece of parchment on your work surface. Divide the dough in half. Roll each half to about 1/8 inch thickness, roughly the thickness of a penny. Lightly dust with flour if dough sticks. Cut into 1-inch wide strips with a pizza cutter, then cut strips into 4-5 smaller cracker-sized pieces.
- Arrange on Baking Sheets: Place the cut crackers on the prepared parchment-lined sheet pans. Since these crackers won’t spread while baking, place them close together.
- Bake the Crackers: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes. Swap the trays halfway through baking to ensure even cooking. Watch closely towards the end; crackers are done when edges and tops turn slightly golden.
- Cool and Serve: Allow crackers to cool on the baking tray for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy with cheese, jam, hummus, or plain. Store cooled crackers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Notes
- These crackers make a great savory, crispy snack perfect for a charcuterie board or a snack plate lunch.
- Keep an eye on the crackers during the last minutes of baking to prevent burning since they brown quickly.
- Light dusting of flour while rolling prevents sticking but avoid adding too much to keep crackers crisp.
- Made with pantry staple ingredients and minimal effort, these crackers can be ready in under an hour.
