Easy Homemade Flatbread Crackers

• all purpose flour↗1.5 cup
• fresh herbs of choice (I used thyme)2 teaspoon
• freshly ground black pepper (more or less to taste – as written, it will be pretty peppery)1 teaspoon
• salt↗1 teaspoon
• sugar↗1 teaspoon
• olive oil↗2 tablespoon
• cold water0.5 cup
• Alouette Le Bon Dip or Le Petite Fromage for serving

Step-by-step instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Pulse the flour, thyme, pepper, salt, sugar, and olive oil in the food processor until evenly distributed.

2. 2

   Add the water and pulse just until the dough starts to stick together (about 10 seconds). Remove the dough, press together gently with your hands to form a single ball, and cut into four pieces. Let the dough rest for about ten minutes.

3. 3

   Roll out each individual piece of dough as thin as you possibly can. If the dough starts to shrink up, let it rest a little longer. You want the dough to get very, very thin. Once it’s rolled, place it on a piece of parchment paper and transfer to a baking sheet.

4. 4

   Bake for 4-5 minutes, but check periodically to make sure it’s not getting too brown – flip each cracker piece and bake another 4-5 minutes. Turn the oven off and let the crackers sit in the oven for 1-2 hours to really dry out and get crispy.

5. 5

   Break into pieces and serve with ALouette Le Bon Dip or Le Petite Fromage and a glass of wine for a perfect snack or happy hour treat!
