CRISPY ROSEMARY SEA SALT FLATBREAD CRACKERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with a silicon mat or parchment paper.
• Place flour, salt, sugar, and grated cheese in a mixing bowl. Stir together until well mixed. Add rosemary; drizzle with olive oil and add water. Mix with a fork until mixture comes together in a fairly sticky dough and pulls away from the sides of the bowl, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Transfer dough onto floured surface and add flour as you knead the dough. Knead until it no longer sticks to work surface, 4 to 5 minutes. Divide dough in half.
• Dust work surface with flour. Roll out dough to 1/8-inch thickness or less. Brush or mist surface of dough very lightly with water. Sprinkle with coarse sea salt. Prick the entire surface of dough with the tines of a fork to prevent crackers from puffing too much when baking.
• Cut each rolled out half into about 30 pieces with a pizza wheel. You can cut them out in squares, rectangles, or triangles--your choice. Transfer onto prepared baking sheet with a bench scraper or your floured fingers (dough will be very sticky).
• Bake in preheated oven until perfectly browned and crunchy, 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the thickness.

POPPY SEED AND ROSEMARY FLATBREAD

Steps:

• Combine flour, rosemary, poppy seeds, salt and pepper in a large bowl.
• Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add olive oil and water.
• Blend the flour mixture into the water and oil gently, using your hands.
• Turn the dough onto a work surface and knead for a couple of minutes, until smooth.
• Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Place a pizza stone onto bottom rack of oven and preheat to 450.
• Take a small chunk of dough (about golf ball size) and roll very thin, either by hand or with pasta machine- preferable- I go to notch 5 on the machine.
• Transfer to pizza stone.
• You should be able to fit 4 on the stone at one time.
• Bake 8-12 minutes or until crisp and golden.
• Cool slightly and brush with a bit of olive oil and sprinkle with kosher salt.
• Store in an airtight container.

SEEDED CRACKERS

Steps:

• Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and heat the oven to 450°F.
• In a small bowl, stir the sesame seeds, poppy seeds, and fennel or caraway seeds. Fill another small bowl with water and set it aside along with a pastry brush and the kosher salt.
• In a large bowl, whisk the all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, and table salt. Add the olive oil and 1/2 cup water to the flour; stir with a rubber spatula until it collects into a soft, crumbly ball of dough. Use the spatula or your hands to press the dough against the sides of the bowl to gather all the stray flour.
• Set the dough on a lightly floured work surface and portion it into thirds. Pat each portion into a square. Set two squares aside and cover with a clean towel. Roll the remaining dough into a rectangle about 1/16 inch thick and 7 or 8 inches wide by 14 or 15 inches long. Whenever you feel resistance, lift up one edge of the dough and sprinkle more flour underneath before you continue rolling.
• With a pastry brush, brush the dough lightly with water and sprinkle about a third of the seed mix evenly over the surface. Sprinkle with 1/4 tsp. of the kosher salt. With a dough scraper, pizza cutter, ravioli cutter, or sharp knife, cut the dough in half lengthwise and then cut across to make rectangles roughly 2 by 4 inches. Don't bother trimming the edges; rustic edges add character.
• Transfer to an unlined baking sheet. Bake until nicely browned, about 10 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack.
• While each batch is baking, clean your work surface as needed and repeat the rolling and cutting with the remaining portions of dough. Store the cooled crackers in a zip-top plastic bag. They'll keep for up to a week.
