Bakery Style Rosemary Flatbread

5.0(12)

I love these rosemary crackers by themselves or dipped in hummus or baba ghanoush. I use a spicy dark green extra virgin olive oil because I love the taste, but any olive oil will work fine.

Ingredients (10)

serves

3-½ cups Flourflour
1 teaspoon Saltsalt
2 teaspoons Baking Powderbaking-powder
2 Tablespoons Chopped Fresh Rosemaryrosemary
1 Tablespoon Coarsely Ground Black Pepper (optional)
1 cup Warm Waterwater
¾ cups Olive Oilolive-oil
8 pieces Parchment Paper
1 cup Olive Oil For Brushing
8 dashes Medium Coarse Sea Saltsalt

Instructions (4 steps)

01Place a large rimless baking sheet or an inverted rimmed baking sheet in the oven and heat to 450 degrees.
02Whisk flour, salt, baking powder, rosemary and black pepper together in a large bowl. With a wooden spoon, stir in the water and olive oil until a medium stiff dough forms. Knead gently if necessary to combine. Let rest in the bowl covered with a plate or plastic wrap for 30 minutes.
03Divide dough into 6 to 8 portions, depending on the size of your cookie sheet. One at a time, roll dough out with lots of flour into a paper-thin rustic round; the thinner you roll it, the thinner the cracker will be. Experiment to find just the thickness that suits you.

04Place on the parchment paper and brush excess flour off the dough, then brush liberally with olive oil and sprinkle with a little sea salt. With another cookie sheet or pizza peel, transfer to the hot baking sheet and bake for 8 to 12 minutes until lightly browned on the edges with specks of brown throughout. Remove from the oven, cool and break into large pieces. Repeat with the remaining dough.
