TURMERIC CRACKERS

How to stave off hunger, when you're in company or while you're busy cooking?

Here's the solution, some delicious crackers to eat and keep in your pantry, perhaps storing them in a nice tin box.

If you then choose to accompany them with a glass of red wine, the task of preparing dinner for all your family would certainly become lighter.

I do it often... Because let's face it, we don't always feel like sitting in the kitchen preparing dinner in the evening after a day at work. But I think it also depends on the spirit in which we do it. If we see it as a time when, in addition to having to cook, we can also relax a bit, we'll definitely do it more happily.

So what's better than a glass of wine and some homemade crackers to keep us company? And if my husband just got home from work a few minutes early and can share this moment with me, then everything becomes even more enjoyable.

INGREDIENTS

• 300 g of Luce flour
• 5 g of salt
• 130 ml of water
• 70 ml of extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon turmeric powder
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

PROCEDURE

In a bowl, combine the flour, salt, turmeric, and sesame seeds. Make a well in the center, add the oil, and mix with a wooden spoon. Finally, pour in the water and continue mixing.

Transfer your dough to a pastry board and knead well for about 10 minutes. Once your dough is smooth and even, lightly flour your work surface and use a rolling pin to roll it out to about 3 mm thick. Using a pastry wheel, cut your crackers into your preferred shapes—rectangular, square, etc.

I used a letter cutter to cut the word "cracker" into each one, but this is optional and purely for aesthetic purposes. Transfer your crackers to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and brush them with oil; finally, sprinkle them with coarse salt (I used herb-infused salt). Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 15-18 minutes. Remove from the oven, let cool, and store in a tin.
