Ingredients

  • 1 cup flour (wheat, spelt, rice, millet, chickpea, buckwheat all work!)
  • ½ tsp sea salt
  • 2 Tbsp oil (olive, grapeseed, avocado, coconut all work)
  • 5-8 Tbsp water (as needed)
  • 1/8-1/4 tsp seasonings (curry, turmeric, paprika, cumin, etc.)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • Mix the flour with the salt and any seasonings you're using.
  • Stir in the oil until mixture looks a bit 'pebbly' in texture.
  • Stir in the water until the dough is moistened and begins to form a ball. It should not be sticky to the touch. If it becomes sticky, knead in a bit more flour.
  • Place the dough ball between a sheet of parchment paper and a sheet of wax paper.
  • Roll out the dough to about 1/8 inch in thickness, with the wax paper on top and the parchment on bottom.
  • Peel away the wax paper and transfer the parchment (with the cracker dough still on top) to a baking sheet (rimless, if possible) or pizza stone.
  • Use a pizza cutter to create your desired cracker shapes and use your fork to poke a couple of holes, if desired.
  • If using seeds, sprinkle them on top and lightly push them into the dough with the rolling pin.
  • Bake the crackers for 16-25 minutes until golden (see Notes).
  • Cool, break apart, and enjoy!
