Cooking steps
  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for even, crisp baking.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, combine oat flour, dried rosemary, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to distribute herbs and seasonings.

  3. 3

    Add olive oil and water to the dry mixture. Stir with a spoon, then knead gently by hand until a soft, cohesive dough forms.

  4. 4

    Roll dough between two sheets of parchment paper to about 1/8 inch thickness, ensuring even crackers and proper crispness.

  5. 5

    Using a knife or pizza cutter, slice dough into squares or rectangles. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet, spacing pieces evenly.

  6. 6

    Bake for 20–25 minutes, rotating the tray halfway through for uniform browning. Crackers are ready when firm and golden at the edges.

  7. 7

    Cool completely on a wire rack before serving to achieve maximum crunch and maintain texture.
