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.

Categories     easy, appetizer

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.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I used sunflower seeds instead of pine nuts. The crackers turned out great!

The crackers were a bit too bland for my taste. I would recommend adding some more herbs or spices.

The crackers were a bit too salty for me. I would recommend using less salt next time.

These crackers are a great way to use up leftover olive oil. They're also a lot healthier than store-bought crackers.

The crackers were a bit too oily for my taste. Otherwise, they were good.

These crackers were incredibly easy to make and turned out perfectly! I loved the subtle flavor of the olive oil and the crispy texture. They were a great snack on their own or with cheese and dip.
