Mustard Galletti - Maltese crackers with Mustard

Crunchy Maltese Mustard Galletti. Thin water crackers flavoured with mustard, ready to be the perfect vessel for your favourite dips and cheeses.
Servings: 75 pieces

Ingredients

  • 200 g plain flour
  • 50 g semolina
  • 100 ml water lukewarm
  • 15 g butter melted
  • 50 g mustard « original »
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp sugar
  • 5 g dry active yeast

Instructions

  • In a small bowl mix the lukewarm water, yeast and sugar. Let the mixture foam for about 15 minutes.
  • Combine all the dry ingredients together; flour, semolina, and salt. To the dry mixture, add the melted butter, mustard and the activated yeast.
  • Knead the dough for a couple of minutes, until you get a smooth soft dough.
  • Place the dough in a bowl, cover and let it rest for an hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 180°C. Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • If you have a pasta machine you can use it, or else a normal rolling pin can do the job. Divide the dough into about 6 pieces as it's best to work is small batches. Roll the dough to about 2mm thick.
  • With a narrow glass or a small cookie cutter cut the galletti and place them on the baking tray. With a toothpick or fork, make five holes in the middle of each galletta. This will help the dough not to fill with air and puff up while cooking.
  • Cook for about 15 minutes, until they get a golden colour. Let them cool. You might need to cook all the dough in several batches as this will depend on your oven and baking trays.
  • They can be enjoyed immediately or later. If stored in an air tight container these galletti can last for about a week as they'll keep their crunchiness.
