Ingredients

  1. 1 cup flour
  2. 1/2 teaspoon salt
  3. 1 tbsp olive oil (plus more for brushing over the dough)
  4. 1/3 cup water
  5. 1/2 tsp lemon juice
  6. Add-ins (sesame seeds, poppy seeds, rosemary, spices, etc.)

Method

  1. Place flour in a mixing bowl and make a well in the center. Pour in salt, olive oil, water, lemon juice, and desired add-ins. Mix well. Dough should come together and make a ball. Add a little more flour if the dough is still sticky.
  2. On a clean floured surface, knead dough for approximately eight minutes, until smooth. Cover the ball of dough with a little olive oil and allow it to rest for 30 minutes.
  3. After the dough has rested, break off a small section (about 1/4 of dough) and proceed to roll out into the thickness of a cracker. Coat dough with a little flour and work on a floured surface to avoid sticking. Once rolled out, cut into desired shape. Place on a cookie sheet and brush each cracker generously with olive oil. Sprinkle with fine grain salt and additional toppings, if desired. You will need to press the toppings into the dough a bit to prevent them from falling off the cracker.
  4. Preheat the Egg to 375 F using indirect heat. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Remove from the grill and serve within a few hours.
