Ah my love for anything miniature is making a re-appearance this week. How cute are these mini crackers? Perfect for popping in your mouth whole. Once again they are super easy to make – I’m going to be experimenting with different flavours too – I’m thinking Oregano would go perfectly with tomato toppings and Chilli ones would be great with cream cheese too.

DIRECTIONS
| Crackers | |
| 1. | |
| Using an electric mixer with the dough hook attachment, add both of the flours & salt. | |
| 2. | |
| Mix the water and oil together in a jug and add approx 1/4 to the flour mixture – Turn the mixer on to a slow setting | |
| 3. | |
| Continue adding the rest of the oil/water mixture and increase the speed to medium – Mix for 7 minutes. The dough should come together in a ball. | |
| 4. | |
| When finished mixing, cover your hands with more Olive Oil (eew!) and wipe all over the surface of the dough ball. | |
| 5. | |
| Leave at room temperature for 1-1.5 hours to rest – Cover with a clean tea towel or cling film | |
| 6. | |
| Preheat the oven to 180C and split the dough ball into 2-3 smaller balls | |
| 7. | |
| For each small dough ball – sprinkle over 1 tsp of dried thyme (or whatever dried herb you are trying) Knead for 1 minute until the herbs are spread evenly | |
| 8. | |
| Roll out on a floured surface to a 5mm thickness and use a cookie cutter to cut out small neat squares | |
| 9. | |
| Bake for 15 minutes then increase the oven temp to 190C for another 2-3 minutes if you want your crackers to be a little more browned – be careful, they may start to burn! | |
These look perfect for cheese and wine! Delicious x
Thanks Kirsty! I’m not normally a cheese fan but these are delicious with some plain boring cheddar! x
I love savoury biscuits! They always taste so much better home made too (especially gluten free ones)!
Lovely round up …… Plenty of inspiration as always…. Thanks for hosting x

I love the look of these crackers – although I did panic when I saw the prep time, so glad I continued reading and found out a lot of that was resting ;))
I love Elizabeth’s Kichen Diary too, and thanks to this post it looks like I’m about to find some other great blogs/recipes
