OLIVE OIL CRACKERS WITH SEA SALT AND HERBS
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.

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.

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.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with a silicon mat or parchment paper.
- Place flour, salt, sugar, and grated cheese in a mixing bowl. Stir together until well mixed. Add rosemary; drizzle with olive oil and add water. Mix with a fork until mixture comes together in a fairly sticky dough and pulls away from the sides of the bowl, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Transfer dough onto floured surface and add flour as you knead the dough. Knead until it no longer sticks to work surface, 4 to 5 minutes. Divide dough in half.
- Dust work surface with flour. Roll out dough to 1/8-inch thickness or less. Brush or mist surface of dough very lightly with water. Sprinkle with coarse sea salt. Prick the entire surface of dough with the tines of a fork to prevent crackers from puffing too much when baking.
- Cut each rolled out half into about 30 pieces with a pizza wheel. You can cut them out in squares, rectangles, or triangles--your choice. Transfer onto prepared baking sheet with a bench scraper or your floured fingers (dough will be very sticky).
- Bake in preheated oven until perfectly browned and crunchy, 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the thickness.

Steps:
- Place water in a medium bowl; sprinkle with yeast. Let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. Stir in flour, oil, 2 teaspoons coarse salt, and the sugar. Stir until dough forms.
- Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface; knead with floured hands until smooth, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a lightly oiled bowl, and cover with plastic wrap. Let dough stand in a warm, draft-free place until it doubles in volume, about 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Divide dough into 16 equal pieces; cover with plastic wrap. Roll out 1 piece to roughly 4 by 10 inches on a lightly floured surface; transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush with egg wash; sprinkle with sea salt and herbs. Repeat with remaining dough, arranging 4 pieces per sheet.
- Bake, rotating sheets halfway through, until crisp and golden, 18 to 22 minutes. Let cool on sheets on a wire rack.
Tips:
- Use high-quality olive oil for the best flavor. Extra virgin olive oil is the best choice, as it has a more robust flavor and higher nutritional value.
- Make sure your oven is preheated before baking the crackers. This will help them to cook evenly and prevent them from sticking to the pan.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when baking the crackers. Leave some space between each cracker so that they can cook evenly.
- Bake the crackers until they are golden brown and crispy. The exact baking time will vary depending on your oven, so keep an eye on them to prevent them from burning.
- Let the crackers cool completely before storing them. This will help them to stay crispy.
Conclusion:
These olive oil crackers are a delicious and easy-to-make snack that can be enjoyed on their own or with your favorite dips and spreads. They are also a great way to use up leftover olive oil. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a batch of crackers that are sure to please everyone.
