Sublime Wine Crackers

Ingredients

• 1  cupall-purpose flour
•   Desired herb/spice option*
• 1/2  teaspoonsalt
• 1/8  to 1/4 teaspoonground black pepper
• 3  tablespoonsdesired wine*
• 2  tablespoonsolive oil
•   Kosher salt

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. In a medium bowl, combine flour, desired herb/spice option, salt, and pepper. In a small bowl, combine desired wine and oil; gradually add to flour mixture, tossing with a fork until combined. Form dough into a ball. (Dough will appear dry, but will come together when gently worked with hands. Avoid adding more liquid, as this will make the crackers tough.)

2. Transfer dough to a floured surface; flatten into a rectangle. Roll out into a 12x9-inch rectangle (trim uneven edges, if necessary). Prick dough all over with a fork. Cut dough into 3x1-1/2-inch rectangles. Transfer rectangles to an ungreased baking sheet; sprinkle with kosher salt.

3. Bake about 18 minutes or just until crackers start to brown and are firm to the touch. Transfer to wire racks; cool completely.

Sauvignon Blanc and Basil: 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil and 2 tablespoons pine nuts, finely ground

Cabernet Sauvignon and Rosemary: 2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
Champagne and Mustard: 2 teaspoons dry mustard
Chardonnay and Fennel: 2 teaspoons fennel seeds, crushed; use the 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
