Ingredients
  

1 cup whole wheat flour

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon dried oregano

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

1/2 cup water (add more if needed)

1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup finely diced mixed bell peppers

1/4 cup finely chopped red onion

1/4 cup sliced black olives

2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped

1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Extra olive oil for brushing

Instructions
 

Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and dried oregano until well combined.

    Incorporate Wet Ingredients: Slowly pour in the olive oil and water. Stir with a wooden spoon until the mixture begins to clump into a dough. If the dough feels dry, add more water gradually, one tablespoon at a time, until it reaches a smooth and elastic texture. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 3-4 minutes until it feels elastic and pliable.

      Divide and Roll: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Once the dough is ready, divide it into two equal pieces. On a floured surface, use a rolling pin to roll out one portion of the dough as thinly as possible, aiming for about 1/8-inch thickness. Use a pizza cutter or sharp knife to slice the dough into your desired cracker shapes—squares or triangles work well.

        Add the Toppings: Carefully transfer the cut dough pieces onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush the top of each cracker lightly with olive oil. Evenly distribute the shredded mozzarella, diced bell peppers, chopped red onion, sliced black olives, and fresh basil over the crackers. Sprinkle with crushed red pepper flakes if you like a bit of heat.

          Bake: Place the baking sheet in your preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, watching closely until the edges turn golden and crisp.

            Cool and Serve: Once you pull the crackers out of the oven, let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy these crunchy snacks on their own or serve them alongside your favorite dip!
