Whole Wheat Mediterranean Crackers

Ingredients: 
  • 1 1/2 cups unbleached whole wheat white pastry flour*
  • 1/2 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2/3 cup warm water
  • 1 teaspoon dried Rosemary 
  • 1 teaspoon dried Thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried Marjoram or Oregano
  • 1/3 cup olive oil or vegetable oil
  • Sea Salt, for sprinkling


Instructions: 
  1. Preheat oven at 400˚.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and baking powder. Add the water, rosemary, thyme, marjoram and oil and stir until a thick dough forms. Knead several times until dough holds together.
  3. Grease 2 large baking sheets (13x18-inch) or 3 smaller baking sheets (11x13-inch). If you have silicone baking mats to line your sheets, you can skip greasing the sheets and use the mats instead.
  4. Divide dough into two (or 3) equal portions and press or roll onto the prepared sheets.  Poke your dough with a fork at least every inches.
  5. Sprinkle lightly with salt and use a pizza cutter to cut into squares or strips. (If you cut into strips, after crackers are baked you can break them into smaller pieces for a rustic look.)
  6. Bake crackers in a preheated 40 oven for 12-15 minutes, until crackers are lightly browned and crisp. Cool on a wire rack. (If you cut into strips rather than squares, break the strips into crackers.
