How to Make Sun-Dried Tomato & Basil Crackers
Making crackers is actually pretty easy! And they can be ready to eat in less than 30 minutes since they don't take long to bake. Here's what you need to do:
Make the Dough
First, add all ingredients, except water, to your food processor. Blend, stopping to scrape the sides every so often. When the ingredients are fully mixed, add in the water.
Once the water has been added, mix until the dough starts to clump. You'll know it's done when you can shape the dough into a ball.
Roll & Cut the Dough
Roll the dough into a ball, then flatten it on top of a sheet of parchment paper. Grab another sheet of parchment paper and place it over the top of the dough. Next, take a rolling pin and use it to roll the dough between the two sheets of parchment. You want a nice thin, even layer of dough, about ⅛" thick.
Next, remove the top layer of parchment and cut the dough into cracker shapes. You can use a knife or pizza cutter to do this.
Bake the Crackers
Transfer the crackers (on the parchment) to a large baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees F for 10-12 minutes. I recommend keeping a close eye on the crackers after 8 minutes. Depending on your oven and how thick you roll the dough, the crackers may take more or less time to cook. When the crackers are done cooking, they should be a golden brown color.
Lastly, remove the crackers from the oven and let them cool to room temperature on the baking sheet. At this time, you may want to separate the crackers to make sure that they cut through.
Storage
These tomato basil crackers are best stored in an air-tight container at room temperature for 4-5 days. Or, keep them in the fridge for up to two weeks.
