Easiest Spelt
Flour Crackers
Ingredients:
- 1.5 cups Hockley Valley Spelt Flour
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1 tsp cracked black pepper
- 1 tbsp. honey
- 2 tsp finely chopped fresh rosemary
- 2 tsp grated or pressed garlic
- 3 tbsp. olive oil, divided
- 1/2 cup water
For BBQ Flavour, omit the rosemary only and instead add:
-
1/4 tsp ground turmeric
-
1/2 tsp ground coriander seed
-
1 1/2 tsp paprika
-
2 tsp tomato paste
-
1 tbsp. more of spelt flour to the flour mixture (to counteract the added moisture of the tomato paste)
Instructions:
-
Preheat the oven to 450F.
-
Whisk together the Hockley Valley Spelt Flour, sea salt, and black pepper in a large bowl.
-
Make a well in the center and add the honey, rosemary, garlic, 2 tbsp. olive oil, and water at once.
-
Use a whisk to combine the ingredients in the well together, then slowly start bringing in the dry ingredients from the edges until the mixture has come together into a rough ball of dough.
-
With clean hands, knead the dough for 15 folds. This is important for creating flaky layers within the crackers.
-
Turn the dough out onto a sheet of parchment paper and roll into a 25 cm x 35 cm (roughly 10 in x 14 in) rectangle.
-
Brush the remaining 1 tbsp. of olive oil over the dough.
-
Poke the dough all over with a fork, then cut into crackers of whatever size you prefer.
-
Transfer the sheet of parchment paper to a baking sheet.
-
Place the baking sheet in your preheated 450F oven and bake for 16 – 18 minutes or until crispy and golden brown. Keep a close watch on them for the last couple minutes to be sure they don’t burn.
