Sea Salt and Fennel Crackers
Recipe type: Appetizer
Serves: makes about 100 crackers
 
Ingredients
  • 1½ cup all purpose flour
  • 1½ cup whole wheat flour
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 2 teaspoons sea salt, plus additional for topping
  • 1 tablespoon butter, chopped into small pieces
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup water
  • fennel seeds, for topping
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 425.
  2. Mix together flours, sugar, and sea salt. Slowly add in butter, olive oil, and water, mixing well, until dough forms. Dough should be slightly sticky.
  3. Divide dough in two, and roll out each ½ on a slightly floured surface. Lightly wet the dough and sprinkle with sea salt and fennel (or other toppings of your choosing).
  4. Cut the crackers into squares (I used my middle three fingers as a width guide).
  5. Transfer the crackers onto lightly floured baking sheets and bake for 10-12 minutes, watching carefully at the 10 minute mark so they do not burn.
  6. Transfer to a cooling rack for 10 minutes before serving. You can store these in an air-tight container for a week or so, if they get a little stale, put them back in the oven at 350 for a couple of minutes.
