Black Pepper and Thyme Olive Oil Crackers

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour


• 1 Tbsp cracked black pepper


• 1 tsp fresh thyme, finely chopped


• 1 Tbsp granulated sugar


• ¼ tsp salt


• ¼ cup J. Olive Co. Black Pepper Olive Oil


• ¾ cup whole milk


• 1 large egg white, lightly beaten


• Coarse sea salt, for topping

Directions

1. 
   
   Add flour, pepper, thyme, sugar, and salt to the bowl of a food processor and blend together.


2. 
   
   Pour in olive oil and pulse a few times so dough begins coming together.


3. 
   
   With the food processor on, pour in the milk and blend until a loose ball is formed.


4. 
   
   Remove dough from food processor and wrap tightly in plastic wrap. Chill dough in refrigerator for about 1 hour.


5. 
   
   Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.


6. 
   
   Split dough into two portions. Using one portion at a time, on a lightly floured surface, roll dough out into a large rectangle as thinly and evenly as you possibly can. The thinner you can get it, the better as it will result in a crispier cracker.


7. 
   
   Lightly brush dough with egg wash and sprinkle sea salt on top.


8. 
   
   Bake for 15-22 minutes, until crackers are getting crispy and turning golden. Check after 15 minutes. If crackers are still pliable and not totally crispy, return to oven, being sure to re-check every 2 minutes.


9. 
   
   Let cool completely before breaking into pieces of whatever size you choose.
