Walnut and rosemary crackers

These crackers have a lovely nuttiness (thanks to both the wholemeal flour and walnuts) to them, perfect to serve with a creamy blue-vein cheese. They would also make a great gift, sealed in an airtight jar and accompanied by some cheese and a good bottle of red.

Ingredients

  • 225 g (1½ cups) plain wholemeal flour, plus extra for dusting
  • 100 g walnuts, coarsely ground
  • 2 tsp finely chopped rosemary, plus 2 tsp extra leaves, to sprinkle
  • 1 tsp sea salt flakes, crushed
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • 125 ml (½ cup) water
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp honey, warmed slightly
Cooling time 20 minutes

Instructions

Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan forced). Line 2 large oven trays with non-stick baking paper.

Combine the flour, walnuts, rosemary, salt and baking powder in a large mixing bowl. Combine the water, olive oil and honey and use a fork to mix. Add the water mixture to the dry ingredients and use a wooden spoon and then your hands to mix to a soft dough.

Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead briefly until smooth. Divide the dough in half and use a lightly floured rolling pin to roll out one portion until 5 mm thick. Use a 6-cm round cutter to cut out discs and place on the lined trays about 2 cm apart. Repeat with the remaining dough portion and any off cuts. Sprinkle the crackers with the extra rosemary leaves to garnish.

Bake in preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, swapping the trays around halfway through baking, or until golden and cooked through. Cool on the trays.

Baker’s tips

• These crackers will keep in an airtight container or jar at room temperature for up to 1 week.
