Originally from the Italian island of Sardinia, Carta di Musica are thin, crispy crackers that are quite easy to make. Add some cheese and a bottle of wine for an excellent appetizer idea!

1cupwater

Instructions
Preheat oven to 450°F. Note: If you have a pizza stone, use it! If you don’t have a pizza stone, you can mimic one by placing an upside down sheet pan into the oven while it is preheating.
Using a stand mixer fitted with dough hook attachment, add both flours, water and salt; stir on low speed until well combined. Increase speed to medium and let mix for 6-7 minutes, or until dough is very smooth.
Divide dough into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and then cover with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel. Let dough rest at room temperature for 15 minutes.
Working on a large cutting board, spray board with non-stick baking spray. Roll one ball into an 8” or 9” circle.
Brush top of dough lightly with olive oil and then sprinkle top with kosher salt and/or Italian spices. Flip dough over and repeat process.
Working with 1-2 pieces of dough at a time, place dough on the pizza stone (or overturned sheet pan) and bake for 3-4 minutes. Using a pair of kitchen or grill tongs, flip dough over and continue baking for 3-4 more minutes or until golden brown. Repeat process with remaining pieces of dough.
Let cool and then break each piece apart into bite-sized pieces. Serve with additional olive oil for dipping.
