Homemade Wheat Crackers

Let me start out by saying that I will give credit where credit is due.  It is not often that I follow a recipe.  When I do, I tend to use the recipe as a kind of guideline and modify it in whatever means I would like.  This is how I cook.  Mostly by memory and largely by practicing the same techniques over and over until I achieve the results I am after.
This brings me to my latest recipe.  It was a new one, and definitely worth the work, but modified nonetheless.   

Ingredients

2 1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1 tsp table salt
1 tbsp sugar (optional)
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup water
3/4 tsp sea salt

Method

Preheat oven to 425 degrees and lightly spray two baking sheets with cooking spray.  Mix all purpose flour, whole wheat flour and salt in a medium bowl.

Add olive oil to the bowl with flour and salt mixture, and then slowly add the water, much like a pie crust.  Stir with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon until the dough comes together.  I found that using my hands until I had the desired consistency worked well.

Divide the dough into three balls.  Cover two of the balls with some saran wrap and set aside while you work the first ball.

Lightly flour your work space and with your fingers press the dough as flat as possible.  Use a rolling pin to roll the dough into a thin sheet, and a small cookie or biscuit cutter to shape the crackers.  Place them onto a parchment lined baking sheet.

Lightly brush the top of the dough with water and sprinkle the top of each cracker with the sea salt. Bake for 8-10 minutes till slightly golden.  Remove and let cool.
