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.

Let the dough rest for 15-20 minutes, covered with a clean kitchen towel to allow the gluten to relax.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
