Ingredients
Scale:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/3 cup olive oil
1/4 cup water
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup diced pepperoni
Extra Italian seasoning for sprinkling
Instructions
Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning. Whisk them together until well blended.
Add Wet Ingredients: To the dry mixture, add 1/3 cup of olive oil, 1/4 cup of water, and 1 tablespoon of tomato paste. Mix until the dough comes together.
Roll Out the Dough: Lightly flour a clean surface and place the dough on it. Roll out the dough to about 1/8 inch thick.
Cut the Crackers: Use a sharp knife or a pizza cutter to cut the rolled dough into squares or rectangles, about 1.5 inches wide. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Add Toppings: Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the cut dough, followed by 1/2 cup of diced pepperoni.
Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the crackers from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes.
