Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

1 cup chickpea flour
1/4 cup mixed seeds (sunflower, sesame, flax seeds)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon herbs and spices (e.g., rosemary, garlic powder, smoked paprika)

Wet Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
1/3 to 1/2 cup water (adjust as needed)

Instructions

Prepare the Dry Ingredients: Combine chickpea flour, mixed seeds, salt, and your chosen herbs or spices in a large bowl. Stir thoroughly to distribute everything evenly, ensuring a balanced flavor throughout your dough.
Incorporate Wet Ingredients: Add olive oil and water gradually to the dry mixture. Mix with a spoon or your hands until a firm but pliable dough forms. Adjust water amount as needed to avoid stickiness.
Roll Out the Dough: Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out thinly, about 1/8 of an inch thick. The thinner the dough, the crispier your crackers will be.
Cut into Shapes: Using a knife or pizza cutter, slice the dough into squares or rectangles. You can get creative with shapes, but uniform pieces ensure even baking.
Bake Until Golden and Crisp: Carefully transfer the parchment to a baking sheet and bake in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for 20-25 minutes. Watch closely towards the end to prevent burning, and let the crackers cool completely to maximize crunch.

Notes

Let the dough rest in the fridge for 30 minutes to help flavors meld and improve rollability.
Roll the dough uniformly to ensure consistent baking and texture.
Experiment with seed ratios to find your perfect crunch and nutrition balance.
Store crackers in an airtight container once cooled to keep them fresh and crisp longer.
Bake time may vary depending on thickness, so check for golden edges.
