Ingredients
1.5cupsall purpose flour
1tspsalt
1/2tspsugar
2tbspolive oil
1/2cupcold water
½tsp.red chile powder,medium to hot
garlic powder
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. If you have a pizza stone, place the stone in the oven to heat.
Combine the flour, salt and sugar in a large bowl. Whisk to combine.
Drizzle in the oil and continue to whisk.
Slowly add the water, mixing with a spatula until the dough starts to come together into a ball.
Dump the dough onto a lightly flour coated surface and knead for about 10 seconds.
Add the chile powder and knead into the dough. Continue to knead to for about another minute. Your dough should be a little tacky, but not sticky. If the dough is too sticky, add flour at about 1 Tbsp. at a time until you get the right texture.
Divide the dough into four pieces and cover with a towel. Let the dough rest for 10 minutes so the gluten can relax.
Place a piece of dough on a piece of parchment paper sprinkled with garlic powder. Roll as thin as possible using a rolling pin.
Spray the rolled dough with water (this helps it get crispy). Sprinkle with more garlic powder if desired.
Transfer dough to the pizza stone or a sheet pan and bake for about 3 minutes on each side. Keep an eye on them because differences in thicknesses can alter the time. Remove when both sides are crispy brown. The crackers will become more crispy as they cool.
