Description
This is identical to the cracker bread sold at delis in large grocery stores that costs six dollars for three big rounds. You can make it for pennies! I fell it love with it as an appetizer with Harvarti cheese melted on it but with the price of the cheese and lavash we didn’t have it much.
Ingredients
- 1 cup lukewarm water
- ΒΌ cup whole wheat flour
- 1 (.25 ounce) envelope active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
Instructions
- Stir water
- flour
- and yeast together in the bowl of a stand mixer until moistened. Mix in 1 cup flour and salt. Gradually mix in remaining 2 cups flour with a dough hook attachment until dough comes together.
- Knead dough until elastic
- 8 to 10 minutes. Add more flour or water
- if needed
- to keep dough from getting sticky or too stiff. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size
- about 1 hour.
- Punch down dough and roll into a long log; cut into 30 small walnut-sized pieces. Roll each piece into a ball. Cover with a damp kitchen towel and let rest for 30 minutes.
- Place an ungreased baking sheet on the center rack of the oven; preheat to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C).
- Roll each ball into a circle about 8 inches in diameter; dough should be paper thin and almost translucent. (If dough is too thick
- it will bubble up like pita bread.)
- Pull out the oven shelf and place as many crackers onto the hot baking sheet as possible. Close the oven and bake until lightly browned on top with small bubbles
- about 3 minutes.
- Remove crackers from the oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool.
- Repeat Steps 5 to 7 to bake remaining batches
- adjusting dough thickness as necessary.
