CRACKER!
The word crackers has a few vernacular meanings. Considering some of the election results, there might be a few new meanings to this word....Be that as it may; enjoy this terrific cracker recipe by the Chefs Gaultney.
Flat Crackers
2 cups all purpose flour
8oz. cheese (any you like) I used Asiago
2tbs dried oregano
1/2 tbs kosher salt
1/2 tbs coarse black pepper
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 to 3/4 cups water
1. Combine flour, cheese, oregano, salt and pepper in
food processor or by hand. Add oil and mix just until
a coarse meal consistency is achieved.Slowly add water
until the dough forms a cohesive ball that pulls away
from the sides of the bowl.
2. Divide the dough into 4 balls - wrap in plastic and
chill for 20 mins.
3. Sprinkle flour on a flat surface and press ball
into it,sprinkle flour on top and with a rolling pin
slowly work dough out . If dough wants to stick,
sprinkle with flour, turn over frequently and continue
to roll out to desired thickness. 1/8” thickness is
ideal.
4. Have oven preheated to 350 degrees. For best
results use a half sheet tray with a Silpat*, or
parchment paper. Bake until medium golden brown,
check at 10 to 15 minutes. Using a spatula, turn
dough over. Bake 5-8 more minutes, until lightly
browned. Cool on tray. Break into irregular pieces,
serve.
*Silpat is a non-stick, silicone baking sheet liner
that is reusable. We highly recommend this tool for
any baking activity. You can purchase these at Sur La
Table stores.
