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

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, sugar, dried herbs, garlic powder, and black pepper.
  2. Add in the olive oil and water gradually, mixing with a spoon or your hands until a smooth dough forms.
  3. 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.
  4. Divide the dough into four equal portions and cover them with a clean kitchen towel. Let them rest for 10 minutes.
  5. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  6. Take one portion of the dough and roll it out as thinly as possible to fit the size of your baking sheet.
  7. Transfer the rolled out dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough portions.
  8. Sprinkle additional dried herbs and sea salt on top of the rolled out dough for added flavor.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes or until the lavosh crackers are golden brown and crispy.
  10. Remove from the oven and let them cool completely before breaking them into smaller pieces.
  11. Store the lavosh crackers in an airtight container to maintain their crunchiness.
