Olive Oil Crackers

Ingredients

• 250g All-purpose flour
• 100ml Extra virgin olive oil
• 100ml Water
• 50g Sugar
• 1 TL Anise seeds
• 1/2 TL Salt
• 1/2 TL Active dry yeast
• Optional: etwas extra Zucker zum Bestreuen Optional: a little extra sugar for sprinkling

Instructions

1. In a small bowl, combine the active dry yeast with 2 tablespoons of warm water and a pinch of sugar. Let it rest for 5 minutes until foamy.
2. In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center.
3. Pour the olive oil, remaining water, sugar, and anise seeds into the well. Add the yeast mixture.
4. Knead everything together to form a smooth dough, about 5-7 minutes. The dough should be slightly sticky.
5. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
6. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) (conventional). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
7. Divide the dough into 12-15 equal pieces. Roll each piece very thinly into a circle (about 10-12 cm in diameter).
8. Place the rolled tortas on the prepared baking sheets. If desired, lightly sprinkle with a little sugar.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack.
