Perfect for Snacks & Nibbling
Think of this as a cracker version of rosemary-flecked flatbread. And these are the easiest crackers you'll ever make!
Rather than cutting the dough into small pieces, you bake three large pieces, then break them into smaller ones to serve. You'll notice that the jagged edges invite nibbling.
Ingredients
1-3/4 cups all-purpose flour1 tablespoon chopped rosemary, plus 2 (6-inch) sprigs
1 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup water
1/3 cup olive oil plus more for brushing
Flaky sea salt such as Maldon
Method
Preheat oven to 450°F with a heavy baking sheet on the middle rack.
Stir together flour, chopped rosemary, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Make a well in center, then add water and oil and gradually stir into flour with a wooden spoon until a dough forms. Knead dough gently on a work surface 4 or 5 times.
Divide dough into three pieces and roll out one piece on a sheet of parchment paper into a 10-inch round. (Keep remaining pieces covered with plastic wrap.) Shape can be rustic; dough should be thin.
Lightly brush top with additional oil and scatter small clusters of rosemary leaves on top, pressing in slightly. Sprinkle with sea salt. Slide round while still on parchment onto a preheated baking sheet. Bake until pale golden and browned in spots, 8 to 10 minutes.
Transfer flatbread to a rack to cool. (Discard parchment.) Make two more rounds, one-at-a-time on fresh parchment. Do not oil or salt until just before baking. Break into pieces.
Flatbread can be made two days ahead and cooled completely, then kept in an airtight container at room temperature.
