Cuisine: Paleo
Serves: 24 crackers
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup water
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the crackers from sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of almond flour, 1/4 cup of coconut flour, 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt, 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of onion powder. Mix the dry ingredients thoroughly to ensure even distribution of the seasonings.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup of olive oil and 1/4 cup of water until well combined. This mixture will help bind the dry ingredients together.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir with a spatula or wooden spoon until a dough forms. The dough should be moist but not sticky. If it's too dry, add a little more water, one tablespoon at a time.
- Transfer the dough onto a large piece of parchment paper. Place another piece of parchment paper on top of the dough. Use a rolling pin to roll out the dough to about 1/8 inch thick. Try to maintain an even thickness for uniform baking.
- Once rolled out, remove the top layer of parchment paper. Using a pizza cutter or a sharp knife, cut the dough into squares or rectangles, making sure not to separate them completely. This will make it easier to break them apart after baking.
- Transfer the parchment paper with the cut dough onto the prepared baking sheet. If desired, sprinkle a little extra sea salt on top for added flavor.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the crackers are crisp. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning, as baking times may vary depending on your oven.
- Once baked, remove the crackers from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes. Then, carefully break them apart along the cut lines.
- Transfer the cooled crackers to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
Tips
- Measure Accurately: For the best results, be sure to measure your flours and other ingredients accurately. This ensures the right texture and flavor for your crackers.
- Keep an Eye on Baking: Ovens can vary, so keep a close watch on your crackers as they bake. Start checking them at the 15-minute mark to prevent over-baking.
- Experiment with Flavors: Feel free to add your favorite herbs or spices to the dough for a unique twist. Try adding rosemary, thyme, or even a pinch of cayenne for some heat!
- Cut Before Baking: Cutting the dough into squares or rectangles before baking makes it easier to break them apart later. Just be careful not to cut all the way through!
- Storage Tips: To keep your crackers fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They can last for up to a week, but we doubt they’ll last that long!
