- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup olive oil

- Optional add-ins: 1–2 tsp dried herbs (rosemary, thyme, oregano)
- Optional: 1–2 tbsp seeds (sesame, flax, poppy)
- Optional: 1/2 tsp cracked pepper or garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix flour and salt. Add olive oil and water, stirring until a dough forms.
- Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface and knead briefly until smooth.
- Divide dough in half. Roll each half very thin (about 1/16 inch) between two sheets of parchment paper.
