Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup olive oil Adds richness and moisture to the cracker dough.
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary Infuses the crackers with a fragrant, herbal flavor.
  • 2 cups flour Provides the base and structure for the dough.
  • 3/4 cup water Hydrates the dough and activates the yeast.
  • 1 teaspoon active dry yeast Causes the crackers to rise slightly.
  • 1 teaspoon salt Enhances flavor and balances the overall taste.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a small bowl, mix together olive oil and chopped rosemary; set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, add water, sprinkle the yeast on top, and let it sit for 10 minutes.
  3. Using a wooden spoon, add flour and salt, then incorporate the olive oil mixture.
  4. Move the dough to a flat surface and knead until smooth, about 5 minutes.
  5. Place the kneaded dough in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm area until doubled, about 1-2 hours.
Baking
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Knead the risen dough a few times, then roll half of it on a piece of parchment paper until it's about 1/8 inch thick.
  3. Cut the dough into long thin strips or fun shapes; cut the strips into squares.
  4. Prick each square with a fork, then brush with a little olive oil.
  5. Place cutouts on a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Cool on the pan before serving. Transfer to an airtight container once completely cooled.

Notes

For added flavor, consider incorporating herbs, spices, or cheese. These crackers can be stored in an airtight container for 3-7 days and can also be frozen.
