Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups all purpose flour (plus extra for dusting)
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ cup water
2 ½ tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (plus extra for brushing)
½ teaspoon fine sea salt
1 teaspoon paprika
¼ teaspoon black pepper
flaky salt (I use Maldon)
fresh herbs (dried herbs, poppy seeds sesame seeds, dried spices, za'atar are some of the endless possibilities for toppings)

Steps:

In a large bowl, or the bowl of a Kitchen Aid mix the flour baking powder, water, olive oil, salt and pepper. With the dough hook, mix (or mix by hand) the dough for 5-6 minutes until it comes together in a ball.
Wrap in plastic wrap and leave it to rest for an hour at room temperature.
Line 2-3 trays with baking parchment. Preheat the oven to 425˚F.
Make walnut sized balls and roll them out as thinly as you can into long, oval shapes. Place the rolled out crackers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, brush generously with olive oil and sprinkle with a bit of flaky sea salt (I love Maldon ), fresh herbs, dried herbs, poppy seeds, sesame seeds, za'atar, etc.
Bake for 5-6 minutes, or until the crackers are golden brown in color. Allow to cool, then store in an airtight container.
