Party Crackers
Easy to make, with almost limitless flavor and topping options, these crackers are a made-from-scratch
appetizer suitable for cocktail parties year round.
INGREDIENTS
– 10 tablespoons all-purpose flour
– ⁄ teaspoon kosher salt
– ⁄ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 3 tablespoons warm water
PREPARATION METHOD
1. Preheat oven to 325°F Convection Mode with racks set at positions “2,” “4,” and “6.” 2. Whisk together the dry
ingredients, then add the oil, mixing until the dough looks like cornmeal. 3. Add in the water and mix by hand until the
dough comes together. 4. Knead the dough a few times on a lightly floured surface until smooth. If needed, add a few
more teaspoons of water, but be careful—the wetter the dough the harder it will be to roll out. 5. Using a rolling pin,
roll the dough until thin enough to fit through a pasta roller at its thickest setting. Roll dough through the pasta roller.
6. Fold the dough into thirds and roll through the pasta roller on the thickest setting a second time. 7. Continue running
the dough through the roller on each setting until it reaches your preferred thickness. Do not let the cracker dough sit
uncovered, or it will quickly dry out. 8. Transfer the sheet of dough to a parchment-lined baking pan. 9. Cut the dough
into 3-inch squares (or other desired size), and pierce with a fork in several places. 10. Brush with olive oil, sprinkle
lightly with kosher salt, and bake for 12–14 minutes, until crisp and golden brown on the edges.
