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.

Makes: 24-26 Crackers
