1 1/2 cups spelt flour
1/2 cup cold water (plus some more cold water in a separate bowl to wet your fingers with when forming the crackers)
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
Add the spelt flour and salt to a mixing bowl, then mix well.
Add the cold water and extra virgin olive oil, then use your hands to mix the ingredients and knead until a firm dough is formed.
Use your hands to roll the dough into 24 evenly sized balls (about one tablespoon of dough per ball) and place them, evenly spaced, on two sheet pans lined with parchment paper (12 balls per sheet pan).
Add some cold water to a bowl, then wet your fingers to prevent the dough from sticking to them.
Use your fingers to flatten the dough balls into circles. To ensure they get crispy, be sure to press them as flat as possible. Wet your hands again before flattening each dough ball.
Prick each cracker with a fork several times.
Bake the crackers at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 23 minutes or until golden brown.
Let the crackers cool completely before removing from the pan and serving (they will get crispier as they cool off).

Optional additions include 1/2 teaspoon of your preferred type of dried herbs or 1 teaspoon of sesame seeds.
Store these spelt crackers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to five days.
