“Dress me upWith bows of colour
Spice me up
With incredible flavour.
Lying with pride
In the cookie jar
I befriend coffee
And drinks at the bar.
Sweet or savory
With cheese & thyme
A crunchy bite
For those silent times.”
Ingredients
2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon fine salt
½ cup water
4-5 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 tablespoon grated parmesan
Pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 200 degree C.
Mix together the flour, baking powder and salt. Add water and oil gradually, slowly stirring the flour with a spoon until a dough like consistency starts to form. The best way is to use your hands. Knead dough well till it is smooth. It will feel quite oily and sticky but that’s fine!
Divide the dough into 15-20 small parts. Press down each part with the palm of your hand or a heavy flat surface to flatten it into 2 inch circles. Spread these out on a baking tray and lightly grease the top with a brush of olive oil. Sprinkle some pepper, thyme and parmesan on top of each cracker.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or till the cracker begins to look crisp and brown. Remove from heat and serve immediately. Can be served with a variety of toppings as a herbilicious party snack.
