Salt and Pepper Flatbread Crackers
Bubba Durand


1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup water
1 t salt
1/4 t sugar
2 T olive oil

Put a pizza stone in the oven and preheat to 450F.

Combine all ingredients except water in a food processor.
Pulse to blend. With processor running, pour in water in a stream until a dough ball forms. Let it run for another 30 seconds or so.

Remove the dough and cut it into 4 pieces. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest 1/2 hour.

One at a time, flatten a dough piece and run it through a pasta machine until you've reached the second to last thinnest setting. Dredge the dough in flour as needed to prevent sticking. Cut each piece into eighths and arrange on parchment paper (4 crackers per piece of parchment worked out great).

Mist the crackers with water, then sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper and coarse salt. Poppy or sesame seeds would also be nice.

With a pizza peel, slide the parchment on top of the hot pizza stone. Bake 3 1/2 minutes, of until lightly browned and bubbled. Cool on a rack.

Make 32 crackers.
