Pepper Crackers Recipe - Cooking Index
| 1 1/2 cups | 93g / 3.3oz | Flour |
| 1/2 teaspoon | 2.5ml | Salt |
| 1/2 teaspoon | 2.5ml | Plus 1 tsp. Or more to taste |
| Freshly ground black pepper | ||
| *coarsely ground | ||
| 2 tablespoons | 30ml | Vegetable oil |
| 7 tablespoons | 105ml | To 9 T. Cold tap water |
Makes 2 approximately 12x8-inch sheets
1. Preheat oven to 350F.
2. In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the flour, salt and pepper.
3. Add the oil and stir until mixture resembles fine meal.
4. With a fork, stir in the cold water, using just enough to make the dough gather into a ball.
5. Divide the dough in half and, on a well-floured board, roll out each half as thinly as possible into a rough rectangle that fits on a baking sheet.
6. Place dough on baking sheet and if you want neat-looking crackers, score it into squares or diamonds.
7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, turning after 15 minutes. Dough should be a pale brown and snap, not bend.
8. Break into crackers or irregular pieces. Can be stored in a tin.
Variations: Instead of black pepper, season with hot red pepper flakes or any other spice that seems appropriate to the crackers' eventual use. Or, after the dough has been transferred to a baking sheet, sprinkle with coarse salt and press lightly into the top.
