Preheat oven to 450ºF/230ºC. Place 2 baking sheets in the oven to heat.
Make the dough
- In a bowl mix flour, baking powder, salt, pecorino and black pepper.
- Add water and extra virgin olive oil. Mix with a wooden spoon until the dough comes together.
- Turn onto a work surface and knead gently for a minute or so until smooth.
How to roll out the dough
- Cut into 3 portions.
- Take one portion of dough and roll out on non stick baking paper dusting the surface with a little flour if it is sticking.
- Roll out very thinly. About 12inch/30cm round. You can roll an oblong shape if you prefer. It will be about 10inch/25cm x 14inch/35cm. Be sure to roll the dough very thinly to ensure it cooks quickly and become crispy.
- Brush dough lightly with extra virgin olive and sprinkle with flaky salt.
Baking the crackers
- Carefully lift the dough, including paper, onto hot baking tray in the oven.
- Bake 10-12 minutes or until crispy and browned.
- While first cracker is baking, roll out the second and third portions of dough and repeat baking.
- Allow to cool before breaking into smaller pieces and serving with cheese, dips or as a snack.

I think I'll have to try this recipe again because while the directions were easy. to follow and straightforward, my results were less than brilliant: too thick and not particularly crispy. Next time around I'll roll much thinner than the 10" x 4" oblong (or 12 x 12 circle) suggested in the directions and I'll prick the dough before putting it in the oven: mine puffed up hugely in some spots and stayed flat other places.

Tenía tiempo buscando una buena receta de galletas saladas, y esta en particular llamó mucho mi atención, pues te cuento que no me quedé con la curiosidad y las hice y simplemente son bueniiiiimas, la masa es muy manejable y se hacen rápido y sin complicaciones, solo cambié el queso porque aquí en Venezuela el pecorino es muy costoso pero igual me quedaron super buenas. Te felicito por tu blog!

I absolutely agree with you Marcellina. It is so easy to make your own homemade crackers and as you say, a homemade version is always better than any commercial product you can buy. Love the variations you suggest. Great post ♥
