Santos Recipe for March: Thyme Crackers

Ingredients:

– 35 ml extra virgin olive oil.

– 70 ml water.

– 120 g flour.

– 1/2 tablespoon salt.

– 1 teaspoon fresh thyme.

Method:

In a bowl, beat the oil and hot water together at low speed.

Add the flour, thyme and salt: Blend together kneading until obtaining a smooth dough that doesn’t stick to your fingers.

Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough on baking paper, forming a rectangle that is about 3 mm thick. Put the dough in the fridge to chill and harden for about 20 minutes.

Take the dough out of the fridge and using a cookie cutter or knife, cut out squares to make the crackers.

Line a baking sheet with greaseproof paper.

Preheat the oven to 180ºC and bake until the edges start to turn golden brown. Remove from the oven and leave to cool on a wire rack.
