Flatbread Crackers


510 grams semolina


370 grams AP flour


16 grams kosher salt


350 grams water


100 grams olive oil


flaked sea salt


olive oil for brushing.

Combine the first 5 ingredients in food processor or stand mixer and process until a dough forms. Remove and knead by hand until dough is smooth and no longer sticky. Wrap dough and rest (the dough, not yourself} 20 minutes.

In the meantime prepare 2 sheet pans with a couple of tablespoons of olive oil brushed over each one.

Preheat your oven to 425˚.

Cut walnut sized pieces of dough and roll them into balls, then flatten with the palm of your hand. If you have a pasta roller and can send the dough pieces through until you have put them through number 5. If you are using a rolling pin roll to an 1/8th inch thickness.

Place on sheet pans and bake until they’re golden brown and starting to crisp. As soon as they’re out of the oven brush lightly with olive and sprinkle with flaked salt. Let them cool completely. Now eat them.

Great additions to the dough: 2 tablespoons of finely chopped rosemary, cumin seeds, caraway seeds, fennel seeds, or anything else you’d like to try. 




Pickled Red Onions


3 Large Red Onions - Sliced Thinly

1/3 Cup Red Wine Vinegar

3 Tablespoons Sugar

3 Whole Star Anise

6 Whole Cloves

2 Teaspoons Salt

1/2 - 1 Teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes

1/3 Cup Water


Combine all ingredients in a non-reactive pot (stainless steel) and simmer until liquid is almost gone.  The consistancy will be almost jam-like

Alternatively, place onions and spices in a jar. Bring the liquids, salt, and sugar to a boil and pour over onions and cover. This gives a fresher, crisp pickle.
