Andrea's Homemade Rosemary Crackers

Materials:
  • 1/2 c. spelt flour
  • 1/2 c. whole wheat pastry flour
  • 1/2 tsp. coarse salt
  • rosemary (dry, or even better, buy fresh - you can leave it in the fridge and although it dries out it is still super fragrant and yummy)
  • fresh-ground black pepper
  • 1-1/2 Tbsp. butter, melted
  • 1/4 c. water (plus more as needed)
Methods:
  1. Preheat oven to 400F
  2. Mix the flours.
  3. Add salt, rosemary, pepper and mix.
  4. Add just-melted butter and mix just to combine (will be pebbly)
  5. Add 1/4 c. water and mix just to combine (adding extra water if necessary for the whole dough to come together; dough should be relatively dry though and not sticky)
  6. Roll it out on a floured surface until its as thin as your can reasonably get it and still transfer to a baking sheet.
  7. Transfer to a floured baking sheet and score with a sharp knife to get the size crackers that you want.
  8. Bake ~12-15 minutes, until some are just a bit brownish on the edges (but watch closely, this depends a lot on how this they are and how hot your oven actually is).
  9. Let them cool. If they are on the brown side, transfer them to a cooling rack right away. Break apart on the scores.
  10. Amazing with a good goat cheese : )
