Subway Style Toppers (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 2 cups all-purpose flour
02 - ½ cup warm water
03 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
04 - 1 teaspoon kosher salt

→ Seasoning Blend

05 - 1 tablespoon garlic powder
06 - 1 tablespoon onion powder
07 - 1 teaspoon dried oregano
08 - 1 teaspoon dried basil
09 - ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
10 - Optional: Pinch of red chili flakes for a bit of heat

# Instructions:

01 - In a large bowl, combine your flour and salt. Slowly pour in olive oil along with the warm water, mixing everything together gently. Once incorporated, knead the dough on a flat surface for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
02 - Let the dough rest for 15-20 minutes, covered with a clean kitchen towel to allow the gluten to relax.
03 - Divide the dough into smaller portions to make it easier to manage. Lightly flour your work surface and roll each piece of dough as thin as possible—aim for a nearly translucent layer.
04 - Use a pizza cutter to slice the thin dough into small, bite-sized squares. The pieces don't need to be perfect; uneven shapes add charm.
05 - Brush a light coat of olive oil onto each piece, then sprinkle them generously with your seasoning blend. Adjust the seasoning based on your taste preferences.
06 - Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the seasoned dough squares on a parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring they don’t overlap. Bake for around 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, keeping a close watch to prevent burning.
07 - Once baked, let the crunchies cool completely on the tray. Store them in an airtight container with a paper towel to absorb moisture, keeping them fresh for up to a week.

# Notes:

01 - These homemade crunchies are perfect for soups, salads, or as a topping for casseroles and sandwiches.
02 - Store-bought versions don’t stand a chance against the fresh, homemade flavor!
