Orange, Sage, and Pistachio Crackers

How to make Orange, Sage, and Pistachio Crackers Recipe "cracker all’arancia, salvia e pistacchio" - Preparation time: 15 minutes – Cooking time: 15 minutes – Rising time: 50 minutes

10 Servings

Ingredients:
Zest of 1 medium orange
10 sage leaves, finely chopped
3 tbsp. plus 1 tsp. (50 ml) extra-virgin olive oil
8 cups (1 kg) all-purpose flour
1 tbsp. plus 2 tsp. (20 g) fresh yeast, crumbled
2 1/3 cups (550 ml) lukewarm water
1 1/2 oz. (40 g) pistachios
1 tbsp. (18 g) salt

Method:
Combine the orange zest, sage, and olive oil in a small bowl and set aside.

Put the flour onto a clean work surface and make a well in the center. Dissolve the yeast in the water. Pour the yeast mixture into the well, gradually start incorporating it into the flour until a loose dough starts to form, and then begin to knead. When the dough begins to take shape, add the oil with the orange zest
and sage leaves. Lastly, add the pistachios and salt and continue kneading until the dough is soft, smooth, and elastic.

Let the dough rest, covered with a sheet of lightly greased plastic wrap, for about 10 minutes.

Roll out the dough with a rolling pin to a thickness of about 1/25 inch (1 mm). Cut the crackers into shapes of your choice with a fluted pastry wheel and arrange them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Let rise in a warm place for about 40 minutes covered with a sheet of lightly greased plastic wrap.

Before baking, prick the crackers with a fork to keep them from puffing up during cooking. Bake in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for 15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
