Za'atar Crackers
A batch of homemade crackers flavored with the Levantine spice mix za'atar.
Equipment
- Parchment Paper
- Baking Sheet
- Rolling Pin
Ingredients
- 2 Cups Flour
- 1 Tsp Sugar
- 1 Tsp Salt
- ½ Tsp Onion Powder
- ¼ Tsp Garlic Powder
- 1 Tbsp Za'atar Mix
- ⅔ Cup Water
- 4 Tbsp Olive Oil
- Finishing Salt Optional, for topping
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix the flour, sugar, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and za'atar.
- Stir in the water and 3 tbsp of olive oil and mix to start forming a dough.
- Once the dough comes together, turn it out onto a floured work surface and work it until it becomes a ball. Add more flour if necessary so it no longer sticks to your hands as you work it.
- Put the dough ball back into the mixing bowl and cover, letting it rest for about 10 minutes. There's no rise here, just resting.
- Preheat your oven to 425℉, and line your baking sheet with parchment paper. Optionally, you can do the next step directly on parchment paper and transfer it to the baking sheet instead.
- Working with half the dough at a time, roll the dough out to be nice and thin, aiming for 1-2mm. Once it's evenly thin enough, cut it into cracker-sized pieces using a knife or pizza cutter. Transfer these to the parchment-lined baking sheet with a bit of space between them.
- Poke the crackers with a fork to prevent bubbling up or puffing. Brush them with the remaining olive oil, and sprinkle a bit of finishing salt (or more za'atar) over the top of them.
- Bake the crackers for 8-15 minutes, depending on how thin they are. Aim for lightly browned. Remove them from the oven and let them cool to crisp up, and enjoy!
