Step 1

Heat your oven to 400 degrees F.

Step 2

Stir together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, sugar, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Add in the water and oil and stir into a dough. Turn the dough out onto your counter and knead lightly just to bring together.

Step 3

Place the dough on a piece of parchment paper and roll out to about 1/8 inch thick. Transfer the parchment and dough to a baking sheet. Dampen your hands lightly with water and rub the top of the dough with your hands. Scatter with flaky sea salt and any seeds, nuts and/or herbs you’d like, pressing down to adhere. Lightly score the surface, if desired (this will make for cleaner breaks after baking).

Step 4

Bake until golden brown and very crisp, 15 to 20 minutes. Allow the cracker to cool completely before breaking up into pieces.
