Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon dried herbs (such as thyme, oregano, or rosemary)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/2 cup water
- Additional dried herbs and sea salt for sprinkling
Directions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, sugar, dried herbs, garlic powder, and black pepper.
- Add in the olive oil and water gradually, mixing with a spoon or your hands until a smooth dough forms.
- Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until it becomes elastic and springs back when you press it with your finger.
- Divide the dough into four equal portions and cover them with a clean kitchen towel. Let them rest for 10 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Take one portion of the dough and roll it out as thinly as possible to fit the size of your baking sheet.
- Transfer the rolled out dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough portions.
- Sprinkle additional dried herbs and sea salt on top of the rolled out dough for added flavor.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes or until the lavosh crackers are golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from the oven and let them cool completely before breaking them into smaller pieces.
- Store the lavosh crackers in an airtight container to maintain their crunchiness.
