Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (200g) all purpose flour, plus extra for dusting
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup (115ml) water
- 2 ½ tablespoons (25ml) extra virgin olive oil, plus extra for brushing
- teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the flour, baking powder, water, olive oil, and fine sea salt. Mix using a dough hook or by hand for 5-6 minutes until the dough comes together and is smooth.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and divide it into four equal pieces. Roll each piece out as thinly as possible, aiming for paper-thin sheets.
- Place the rolled-out dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Brush lightly with extra olive oil and sprinkle with your choice of fresh thyme, Herbes de Provence, or za’atar.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 5-6 minutes, or until the crackers are golden brown and crisp.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool on a wire rack. Break into pieces and serve.
