OLIVE OIL CRACKERS

I like to top these with a little Parmesan cheese and a generous sprinkling of za'atar, a spice mix made with thyme, sesame seeds and sumac. You can find it in Middle Eastern groceries or make your own.

Time 15m

Yield Eighty to 90 crackers

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 cups whole-wheat or whole-wheat pastry flour
3/4 cup unbleached flour (or use all whole-wheat flour)
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup water
2 large eggs
1/4 cup plus up to 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
2 tablespoons za'atar (see below)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Line baking sheets with parchment. Sift together the flours and the salt. Combine the water, eggs and 1/4 cup of the olive oil in a measuring cup. Place the flour mixture in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade, and turn on the processor. Add the liquids with the machine running, and process until the dough comes together. The dough will be soft. If it seems wet, add another tablespoon of flour.
  • Remove from the food processor, and wrap in plastic. Let rest 15 minutes. Divide into two portions, and roll out each portion into thin sheets. Brush the top of the sheets with the remaining olive oil, and sprinkle with Parmesan and za'atar. Using the rolling pin, gently press the topping into the surface. Cut the dough into squares or rectangles, and transfer to the baking sheets.
  • Bake 15 minutes until lightly browned and crisp.

From the Ottolenghi: The Cookbook. As described by Chris Sheuer of Honest Cooking Magazine: "Shatteringly crisp, paper thin, fabulously delicious. Make your own gourmet sea salt crackers for next to nothing." The pictures of these crackers are amazingly rustic and beautiful. They are to be rolled very thin in irregular oval shapes. Serve along salads or in an appetizer tray.

Yield 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups all-purpose flour, plus extra for dusting

1 cup water
2 1/2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, plus extra for brushing
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon black pepper
flaky sea salt
fresh herb, dried herbs, poppy seeds sesame seeds, dried spices, za'atar

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, or the bowl of a stand mixer, mix the flour baking powder, water, olive oil, salt and pepper. Using the dough hook, mix (or mix by hand) the dough for 5-6 minutes until it all comes together. Wrap in plastic wrap and leave it to rest for an hour in the refridgerator.
  • Line 2-3 trays with baking parchment. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
  • Form walnut-sized balls and roll them out as paper-thin 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 generously with flaky sea salt or fresh herbs, dried herbs, poppy seeds, sesame seeds, za'atar spices, etc.
  • Bake for 5-6 minutes or until the crackers are golden brown in color (not deep gold as these will be burnt).
  • Allow to cool, then store in an airtight container. (It's important to keep them tightly sealed. Should the crackers become bit stale, pop them back in the oven for about 10 minutes at 225 degrees and they'll be good as new.).

OLIVE OIL CRACKERS

If you have trouble tracking down semolina flour, just substitute white whole wheat flour (or all-purpose flour), it will be make a slightly different cracker but should still work. To get creative with your crackers you can top them with lots of things before baking: freshly grated cheese, artisan salts, cornmeal, a dusting of your favorite spice blend, seeds, or a wash of your favorite flavored or infused oil. You can simply cut the unbaked cracker dough into various shapes using one of those pizza cutting wheels. Found on 101 Cookbooks.

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 7m

Yield 12 large crackers

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 1/2 cups semolina flour
1 1/2 cups white whole wheat flour (or all-purpose flour)
1 teaspoon fine-grain sea salt
1 cup warm water
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Whisk together the flours and salt. Add the water and olive oil. Using a mixer with a dough hook attachment mix the dough at medium speed for about 5 - 7 minutes. Alternately, feel free to mix and then knead by hand on a floured countertop. The dough should be just a bit tacky - not too dry, not too sticky to work with. If you need to add a bit more water (or flour) do so.
  • When you are done mixing, shape the dough into a large ball. Now cut into twelve equal-sized pieces. Gently rub each piece with a bit of olive oil, shape into a small ball and place on a plate. Cover with a clean dishtowel or plastic wrap and let rest at room temperature for 30 - 60 minutes.
  • While the dough is resting, preheat your oven to 450F degrees. Insert a pizza stone if you have one.
  • When the dough is done resting, flatten one dough ball. Using a rolling pin or a pasta machine, shape into a flat strip of dough - I can usually get down to the 4 setting on my pasta machine w/o trouble. Pull the dough out a bit thinner by hand (the way you might pull pizza dough). You can also cut the dough into whatever shape you like at this point. Set dough on a floured (or cornmeal dusted) baking sheet, add any extra toppings, and slide into the oven (onto the pizza stone). Repeat the process for the remaining dough balls, baking in small batches. If you don't have a pizza stone, bake crackers a few at a time on baking sheets.
  • Bake until deeply golden, and let cool before eating - you will get more crackery snap.

RUSTIC OLIVE OIL CRACKERS



RUSTIC OLIVE OIL CRACKERS image

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 (150g) cup of flour
3 tbsp olive oil
4 tbsp water
Pinch of salt
Optional extras - sesame seeds, caraway seeds, poppy seeds, grated parmesan, black pepper, thyme, rosemary, and extra salt.

Steps:

  • In a bowl, mix the dough up to a rough ball and leave for about twenty minutes. Come back and knead the dough until smooth and elastic. Depending on your flour, if the dough looks a little dry, just dampened your hands before kneading, and this should make it a little easier. Divide the dough into eight portions. Then roll your dough out just a little, adding a small sprinkle of some of your 'extras' if you are going to. Roll out the dough as thin as you can without it breaking. Roll your extras in, (like the sesame seeds) as this will make sure they are well incorporated into the crackers. Lay dough strips on a tray and brush with a little extra olive oil on the top; add a sprinkling of extra salt if you wish. Bake at 200C for approximately 6-7 minutes, then switch the trays around in the oven - top to bottom - and bake for another 6 or so minutes or until lightly golden in colour. Crackers should be crispy through. Cool on a wire rack and store in an airtight container. Or you can gently break them up and serve them straight away with your favourite summer dips. Best. Crackers. Ever. http://www.milkwood.net/2014/12/22/how-to-make-rustic-crackers/?utm_source=the%20milkwood%20newsletter&utm_campaign=74d118afb5-141209-Newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_6be3039058-74d118afb5-344370141&mc_cid=74d118afb5&mc_eid=becbf372e3

Tips:

  • Choose the right flour: All-purpose flour is a good option for olive oil crackers, but you can also use whole wheat flour or a combination of the two. If you use whole wheat flour, your crackers will be more nutritious and have a slightly nutty flavor.
  • Use good quality olive oil: The olive oil you use will make a big difference in the flavor of your crackers. Choose a flavorful, extra-virgin olive oil.
  • Don't overwork the dough: Overworking the dough will make your crackers tough. Mix the ingredients just until they come together, then form the dough into a ball and chill it for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out.
  • Bake the crackers at a high temperature: This will help them to crisp up and get golden brown.
  • Season the crackers to taste: You can add salt, pepper, garlic powder, or other seasonings to your crackers before baking them. You can also sprinkle them with grated Parmesan cheese or herbs.

Conclusion:

Olive oil crackers are a delicious and versatile snack that can be enjoyed on their own or with your favorite toppings. They are easy to make and can be customized to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a healthy and satisfying snack, reach for a handful of olive oil crackers.
