• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1/2 cup water
• Sea salt, for sprinkling

Directions

4. Gradually add the water to the mixture, stirring until a dough forms.
5. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for a few minutes until smooth.
6. Divide the dough into two equal portions and roll each portion out into a thin rectangle about 1/8 inch (3 mm) thick.
7. Using a pizza cutter or a sharp knife, cut the dough into desired cracker shapes.
8. Transfer the cut crackers to the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each cracker.
9. Prick each cracker with a fork to prevent them from puffing up during baking.

11. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the crackers are golden brown and crispy.
12. Remove from the oven and allow the crackers to cool completely before serving or storing in an airtight container.
