Easy Crispy Crackers

These crackers are easy to make and taste delicious with soup or served simply as an appetizer.




















  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 2/3 cup warm water
  • 1/3 cup olive oil


  1. Preheat the oven to 400.
  2. Lightly grease two large cookie sheets. Combine the dry ingredients, and then stir in the water, oil and mix until a smooth dough forms.
  3. Divide the dough in half and flatten each half on a cookie sheet. Use a small rolling pin or even your fingers for a rustic, uneven look. Once the dough is spread thin, use a sharp knife or a pizza cutter to cut the dough into squares. The elasticity in the dough will make the crackers shrink slightly and pull away from each other; this makes them easy to bake without sticking together.
  4. Brush lightly with egg white and sprinkle with salt, or sprinkle with the topping of your choice---chopped rosemary and sea salt, sesame seeds, poppyseeds and onion salt, Parmesan cheese, or garlic powder.
  5. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the crackers are golden and crispy.
