Crispy Savory Wafers

Crispy savory wafers are a delicious and versatile snack, perfect to accompany aperitifs or to quell hunger throughout the day. Here’s the recipe to prepare them:

Ingredients

• 100 grams of flour
• 100 ml of water
• A pinch of salt
• Spices of your choice (e.g. rosemary, paprika, oregano)
• 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil

Preparation

1. Preheat the oven to 180 °C.
2. Put the flour in a bowl and add a pinch of salt and the spices you prefer.
3. Add water and extra virgin olive oil and mix until the mixture is smooth.
4. Line a baking tray with parchment paper and use a spoon to place small amounts of the mixture onto the tray. Make sure to leave a bit of space between each wafer.
5. With the back of the spoon, flatten the drops of mixture to obtain a thin layer that will cook evenly.
6. Bake and let cook for about 10-15 minutes, or until the wafers are golden and crispy.

The wafers will be crispy and fragrant, ready to be enjoyed on their own or paired with cheeses or spreads.

Curiosity

Savory wafers can be customized with a wide variety of aromatic herbs or spices, depending on personal taste or to match the dishes you are serving. In Italy, they are often prepared with rosemary or sesame seeds, which add a further note of flavor. For an even more Italian touch, you could add grated Parmesan cheese to the mixture for an even richer and more savory taste.
