1½ cups all-purpose flour

½ cup whole-wheat flour

½ teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped

1 teaspoon garlic powder

5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided

¼ cup low-fat milk (more if needed to moisten dough)

1 tablespoon coarse sea salt

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F. In a large bowl, thoroughly combine the flour, salt, rosemary, and garlic powder. Stir in 4 tablespoons of olive oil.

  • Work the dough with your fingers or a food processor until it is the consistency of oatmeal. Stir milk in gradually, adding enough to make the dough hold together firmly.

  • Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Roll out the dough into a 12″ × 16″ rectangle.

  • Roll onto a rolling pin and place on the parchment paper. Cut into 1″ strips. Cut across strips to make 1″ squares.

  • Brush the tops of dough squares with remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Sprinkle with oregano and sea salt. Bake for 15 minutes, until lightly browned. Cool. Store in an airtight container. Crackers will last a week.
