These irresistible cranberry rosemary focaccia crackers are a delightful combination of sweet cranberries, aromatic rosemary, and crisp, golden dough. Perfect for snacks, parties, or gifting during the holidays.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
  • 1 cup (240 ml) warm water
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup (35 g) dried cranberries
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon honey (optional)

Instructions

  1. Activate the yeast: In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup (60 ml) of warm water with 1 teaspoon of honey and 1 teaspoon of active dry yeast. Stir gently and let sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
  2. Prepare the dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups (250 g) of all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt, and the activated yeast mixture. Add 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of olive oil and gradually add 3/4 cup (180 ml) of warm water. Mix until a soft dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough: Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Proof the dough: Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 30 minutes.
  5. Roll out the dough: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). After the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface to about 1/8 inch (3 mm) thickness.
  6. Add toppings: Sprinkle the dough evenly with 1 tablespoon of chopped rosemary and 1/4 cup (35 g) of dried cranberries. Press them gently into the dough.
  7. Cut into crackers: Use a pizza cutter or sharp knife to cut the dough into squares or rectangles—about 2-inch (5 cm) pieces work well.
  8. Bake: Transfer the crackers to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until golden and crispy, rotating the tray halfway through for even baking.
  9. Cool: Remove from the oven and let the crackers cool completely on a wire rack before serving.

Notes

[‘Allow the dough to rise for a light yet crisp texture.’, ‘Roll the dough evenly to ensure uniform baking.’, ‘Press rosemary and cranberries firmly into the dough to prevent them from falling off during baking.’, ‘Keep an eye on the crackers while baking to avoid overcooking.’, ‘Let the crackers cool completely on a wire rack for maximum crispiness.’]
