Recipes From The Young Ancients

Interested in the food of Noram?

Just a fun addition since food plays such a large part of the Baker Family (cooking it, not so much the eating it) Of COURSE the first recipe should be oil crackers!! If you'd like the recipe to something you've seen in one of the books just go to the forum and post your idea there.

Oil Crackers

2 cups all purpose flour

2/3 cup water

1/4 cup olive oil

1/4 tsp salt

coarse salt for topping

Preheat oven to 425F.

In a large bowl, stir together 1 3/4 cups all purpose flour, water, olive oil and salt until the dough comes together into a rough dough. Place remaining flour on a large, flat surface. Turn dough out onto the floured surface and knead until the dough is smooth and elastic.

Set dough aside, under a piece of plastic wrap, to rest for 20 minutes.

Divide dough into four pieces. Working with one at a time, on a lightly floured surface, roll dough out until it is as thin as you can get it. Cut into rough crackers (any size) with a knife or pizza cutter. Transfer crackers to baking sheet and score with a fork. Sprinkle with coarse salt.

Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until crackers are golden brown.

Cool before serving.

Serves 8-10. (or if you're a royal giant, it probably serves 1)
