Lavosh Crackers
Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 190°C/375°F and set aside 2 baking trays lined with baking paper.
-
In a medium size bowl, combine plain flour and salt, making a well in the centre. Add 2 tbsp olive oil and water to the well and mix gradually until you have a well-mixed shaggy dough. Still in the bowl, use your hands to bring this shaggy dough into a rough ball then turn the dough ball out onto a lightly floured surface.
For TM, add flour and salt to the Thermomix bowl and mix for 10 sec/speed 9. Add 2 tbsp oil and water then mix for 10 sec/speed 6. -
Knead the dough slightly to make it more uniform, about 10-15 strokes is all it should need. Divide this ball of dough into six equal portions.
For, TM, Knead for 1 1/2 minutes in Thermomix. turn out onto bench and divide this ball of dough into six equal portions. -
Working with one portion at a time, roll out the dough as thinly and evenly as you can - about 1-2 mm thick, if you have a pasta machine you can use it here, and roll it out the second from thinnest setting. Make sure there are no holes in the dough. Â
-
Transfer long sheets of dough to baking paper. You don't want them to overlap, but they also won't spread as they cook.
-
Using a pastry brush, brush the remaining olive oil (1 tbsp) evenly over the surface of the crackers, then sprinkle them evenly with a chunky herb salt.
-
Bake for 6-10 minutes, or until golden brown. Allow to cool completely on baking tray. Serve whole for guest to break up themselves or break into smaller cracker sized pieces to serve.
Note
( TM Tip – once dough is turned out, add a teaspoon of dishwasher powder to the Thermomix bowl and 1000 ml/1 qt of water. Go to the self-clean function on your Thermomix and turn to dough cleaning for an effortless clean.)

Amazing! A lot easier than I thought. Good cost effective way to make the store bought rustic looking ones that are quite pricey. Some tips that might help; rolling pin was abso fine, no need for pasta machine. Also roughly roll each portion into a sausage shape first rather than rolling out from a ball shape otherwise they turn out quite wide. Oven needed to be a bit higher to brown a bit – 200c (fan) worked for me.
These are super easy to make, I put sage leaves on some and sprinkled Tuscan seasoning on the others, lovely!
This recipe is a winner. Quick and easy to do and delicious. Looks super on the snack tray.
What dip is it shown with in the photo?
This is Minty Pea Hummus
How long do these keep? Or can they be frozen?
These keep for about a week in an airtight container. Also suitable to freeze, although they do lose their crunch a little on thawing.
This recipe is perfect.
If rolling out in a pasta machine, you will need to dust the dough with flour.
To make these gluten free in the uk which flour substitute would you recommend?
Would recommend you use Doves Farm gluten free plain white flour as a substitute.
Has anyone ever made these Gluten Free please & were they successful?
