Bluegrass Vineyard red-wine-crackers-recipe

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Bluegrass Vineyard dry red wine (We suggest Commonwealth or Mammoth Merlot)
  • 1 cup bread flour
  • 3 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp black pepper, cracked
  • 1 tsp rosemary, minced
  • 1 tsp thyme, minced
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 3 tbsp olive oil, extra virgin

Instructions

  • In a small saucepan bring wine to a boil over medium high heat for 2 to 3 minutes or until reduced by half then remove from heat. 
  • Position oven racks in upper and lower 2/3 of oven and preheat oven to 325F. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment.
  • Combine the flour, sugar, black pepper, rosemary or thyme, salt and baking powder in large bowl or food processor. Pulse or stir well. 
  • Combine the reduced wine and oil in a small bowl or liquid measuring cup, add to bowl or food processor. Mix until a lump of dough forms. 
  • Lightly flour work surface and turn dough out. Roll a little more than 1/8- inch thick. Cut into desired shape and put onto baking sheets 1/2-inch apart. Making sure to reroll scraps to yield the most. 
  • Bake for 15 minutes, then rotate the trays from top to bottom then front to back so crackers bake evenly. Bake for another 10 - 15 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Remove from oven and allow to cool completely before putting in airtight container for up to a week and a half.
