Crispy "Everything" Flatbreads

The reason I call these crispy 'everything' flatbread crackers is not only that they're inspired by the 'everything bagel,' but also because they're everything you'd want in a flatbread. You can work all kinds of seeds and flavorings into this easy technique and end up with something much tastier and cheaper than any store-bought cracker. They pair perfectly with countless dips and cheese plates, not to mention smoked salmon dip, capers, and red onions.

Ingredients

• ¾ cup all-purpose flour
• ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 pinch cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• ¼ teaspoon garlic powder, or to taste
• 2 tablespoons poppy seeds, or to taste
• 2 tablespoons sesame seeds, or to taste
• ¼ teaspoon onion powder, or to taste
• ½ cup hot water, or as needed
• ¾ cup sprouted spelt flour
• 1 pinch fleur de sel (sea salt flakes)

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Step 2

Combine all-purpose flour and spelt flour in a bowl. Add salt, pepper, cayenne, garlic powder, and onion powder. Whisk until combined. Add olive oil and water. Stir mixture together with your fingers until a dough starts to come together; knead into a smooth ball.

Step 3

Wrap dough in plastic wrap and let rest about 1 hour in the fridge or at room temperature.

Step 4

Divide dough in half. Press and roll 1 half into a rectangle about 1/8-inch thick, sprinkling with flour as needed to prevent sticking. Transfer dough onto a silicone-lined baking sheet.

Step 5

Lightly brush entire rectangle with a small amount of water. Sprinkle sesame seeds and poppy seeds all over; top with fleur de sel. Press topping gently into the dough before flipping over. Use a pizza cutter to slice dough lengthwise into strips, then diagonally into diamonds. Repeat rolling, topping, and cutting the remaining dough.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and crispy, about 20 minutes.

Step 7

Flip crackers over in their pans and let cool completely.
