Basic Ingredients- 50g cake flour (low-gluten flour)
- 20g whole wheat flour
- 20g cornstarch (or potato starch)
- 10g granulated sugar
- 4-5g herb salt
- 1 Tbsp olive oil (15ml)
- 3 Tbsp milk (45ml)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, preheat your oven to 180℃ (350℉) for about 10 minutes. A properly preheated oven ensures your crackers bake evenly and achieve a perfect crisp.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, sift together the cake flour, whole wheat flour, and cornstarch. Add the granulated sugar and herb salt. Pour in the olive oil (1 Tbsp / 15ml) and milk (3 Tbsp / 45ml). Using a chopstick or fork, gently mix the ingredients in a swirling motion (like drawing 11s or #s) until the dough just starts to come together. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the crackers tough.
Step 3
Gather the dough into a ball and place it on a lightly floured work surface. Use a rolling pin to flatten the dough to an even thickness of about 0.3-0.5 cm (approximately 1/8 to 3/16 inch). Cut the dough into your desired shapes, such as thin sticks. Arrange the cut dough pieces on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring there’s a little space between each piece so they don’t stick together during baking.
Step 4
Place the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake at 180℃ (350℉) for about 15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the crackers are firm. Once baked, carefully remove the crackers from the oven and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. They will crisp up further as they cool. Handle them gently while warm, as they can be fragile.
Step 5
Your aromatic herb salt stick crackers are now beautifully baked and ready to enjoy! Once cooled, arrange them on a plate. These delightful crackers are perfect for snacking while watching a movie, as a light accompaniment to beer, or as a tasty treat for children. Enjoy your moments of happiness with these homemade, wholesome, and flavorful stick crackers. ^^
