Crisp, paper-thin crackers from four pantry ingredients in about 25 minutes.

  • Four pantry ingredients: flour, salt, olive oil, water.
  • Roll paper-thin and bake briefly at 425°F for best crispness.
  • Cool completely before storing to maintain crunch.

Ingredients

Ingredients (yields ~40 small crackers): 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tsp salt, 2 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 cup water. Optional: seeds or coarse salt for topping.

Method

Mix flour and salt. Stir in oil and water until a shaggy dough forms. Turn out and knead 2–3 minutes until smooth. Rest 10 minutes covered. Divide into 4 pieces, roll each paper-thin, cut to shape, brush lightly with oil and top if desired. Bake on parchment at 425°F (220°C) 6–10 minutes, rotating once, until golden at the edges. Cool completely to crisp.

Tips & Variations

For extra crunch, roll thinner and bake toward the lower end of the time. Add seeds before baking or sprinkle flaky salt after. Store airtight at room temp; reheat briefly to refresh.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 cup water

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Whisk flour and salt together in a bowl.
  3. Add olive oil and water to the flour and stir until a shaggy dough forms.
  4. Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead briefly until smooth, about 2–3 minutes.
  5. Let dough rest 10 minutes covered with a damp cloth.
  6. Divide dough into 4 pieces and roll each piece very thin, aiming for paper-thin sheets.
  7. Cut rolled dough into desired cracker shapes with a knife or pizza cutter.
  8. Transfer crackers to the prepared baking sheet, brush lightly with olive oil, and sprinkle a pinch of salt if desired.
  9. Bake 6–10 minutes until edges are golden and crackers are crisp, rotating the pan halfway through.
  10. Cool completely on a wire rack to crisp further before serving.

FAQs

How long do homemade lavash crackers stay crisp? Yes—store cooled crackers in an airtight container for up to 1 week; re-crisp in a 300°F (150°C) oven for 5–7 minutes if needed.
How thin should I roll the dough for crispy crackers? Roll as thin as possible (paper-thin). Thinner crackers bake faster and become crisp; thicker pieces stay chewier.
How can I add flavor without making them soggy? Brush lightly with oil and sprinkle salt or seeds (sesame, za'atar, poppy) before baking; watch closely to avoid burning.
