Crispy Rosemary Sea Salt Flatbread Crackers

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Rosemary Sea Salt Flatbread Crackers.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with a silicone mat or parchment paper—this will help your crackers bake evenly and prevent sticking.

2. Step 2

   In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, kosher salt, sugar, and the delightful grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.

3. Step 3

   Give it a good stir until everything is well blended, creating a savory base for your crackers.

4. Step 4

   Next, introduce the minced rosemary for a fragrant touch, then drizzle in some olive oil and pour in cold water.

5. Step 5

   Grab a fork and mix everything together until it forms a sticky dough that pulls away from the sides of the bowl—this should take about 3 to 5 minutes.

6. Step 6

   Once your dough is ready, transfer it to a floured surface.

7. Step 7

   Knead the dough gently, adding a bit more flour if it sticks to your hands or the surface, until it becomes smooth and manageable—this should take around 4 to 5 minutes.

8. Step 8

   Divide the dough into two equal halves.

9. Step 9

   Now, dust your work surface with flour again and roll out each half of the dough to about 1/8 inch thick or even thinner if you prefer a crispier cracker.

10. Step 10

    Lightly brush or mist the surface of the rolled dough with water, then sprinkle it generously with coarse sea salt for that perfect finishing touch.

11. Step 11

    To ensure your crackers bake evenly and don’t puff up too much, take a fork and prick the entire surface of the dough.

12. Step 12

    Cut each rolled-out piece into approximately 30 shapes—squares, rectangles, or triangles, whatever tickles your fancy! Carefully transfer the cut crackers onto your prepared baking sheet using a bench scraper or your floured fingers, keeping in mind that the dough might be a bit sticky.

13. Step 13

    Pop the baking sheet into your preheated oven and let the magic happen! Bake for about 10 to 15 minutes, keeping an eye on them until they turn a lovely golden brown and become wonderfully crunchy.

14. Step 14

    Remember, the baking time may vary depending on how thick your crackers are, so adjust accordingly.

15. Step 15

    Once they’re done, let them cool and enjoy the delightful aroma of homemade crackers filling your kitchen!.
