Ingredients You’ll Need:
- 2 cups of all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1 tablespoon of dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 1/4 cup of olive oil
- 1/2 cup of warm water
- Assorted toppings (e.g., sesame seeds, poppy seeds, grated cheese)
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, dried oregano, and garlic powder. Mix well to evenly distribute the spices.
2. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the olive oil. Slowly pour in the warm water while continuously stirring the mixture.
3. Continue mixing until the dough comes together and forms a ball. If the dough feels too dry, add a tablespoon of water at a time until it reaches the right consistency.
4. Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
5. Divide the dough into smaller portions. Take one portion and roll it out into a thin sheet using a rolling pin. Aim for a thickness of around 1/8 inch.
6. Using a sharp knife or a cookie cutter, cut the dough into bite-sized pieces or shapes. Repeat this process with the remaining dough portions.
7. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) while you prepare the toppings.
8. Place the cut dough pieces onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle your desired toppings over the snacks, pressing them lightly into the dough.
9. Bake the salatini in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Keep a close eye on them as they can quickly go from golden to burnt.
10. Once baked, remove the salatini from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack. They will continue to crisp up as they cool down.
11. Once completely cool, transfer the mixed salty snacks to an airtight container for storage. They can last up to a week, but we doubt they’ll stick around for that long!
Enjoy your delicious homemade salatini as a standalone snack or serve them alongside your favorite dips and spreads. These versatile treats are bound to be a crowd-pleaser and will impress even the most discerning taste buds.
