A staple…but a solid little party dazzler when it wants to tart itself up with a cheeseboard, or a snazzy dip…what can I say? Someone asked me if I made crackers the other day (and they were joking…as IF you’d actually make your own crackers, right?)…of course I thought they were asking me if I AM crackers, but I had to say yes to both…I make crackers and quite frequently AM crackers…so for you kids…the things I do. Seriously. I have to be crackers.
NEED:
55 g warm water
70 g extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)
250 g wholemeal spelt flour
2 sprigs fresh rosemary, foliage only
1 tsp sea salt
Extra coarse salt for topping
DO:
Preheat oven to fan forced 180ºC and line 2-3 baking trays with paper.
Place water and EVOO into Thermomix bowl and warm for 1 min/80ºC/speed
1.
Add remaining ingredients and blend for 10 secs/speed 7.
Tip out onto ThermoMat and push together to form a soft
dough. Wrap and allow to rest for 5 minutes.
Divide into thirds and roll out each ball of dough separately
as thinly as possible on the prepared trays. Use a pizza cutter to score the
dough, sprinkle with the additional salt and bake for 15-20 minutes or until
crisp.
Break into crackers and return to the turned off oven to
completely dry out. Serve with dip, cheese or other toppings of choice.
