Vegan • Crisp • Clean Ingredients


🛒 Ingredients (makes about 20–25 crackers):

  • 1 cup all-purpose or whole wheat flour (or gluten-free blend)
  • 3 tbsp neutral oil (like olive, avocado, or sunflower)
  • ½ tsp fine salt
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ¼–⅓ cup cold water (adjust as needed)
  • Optional toppings: coarse salt, sesame seeds, rosemary, paprika, black pepper

👨‍🍳 Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 180 °C / 350 °F.
  2. In a bowl, combine flour, salt, and baking powder.
  3. Add the oil and mix with a fork or your hands until crumbly.
  4. Gradually add cold water, mixing until you get a smooth, soft (not sticky) dough.
  5. Roll out the dough thinly (about 2–3 mm) between two sheets of parchment paper.
  6. Cut into squares, circles, or use cookie cutters.
  7. Place on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
    Brush lightly with water or olive oil and sprinkle with your favorite toppings.
  8. Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until golden and crisp.
    Let cool completely – they’ll crisp up more as they cool.

Tips & Variations:

  • For extra crunch: Add 1–2 tbsp sesame or flax seeds to the dough.
  • For flavor: Mix in garlic powder, onion powder, dried herbs, or nutritional yeast.
  • Want them gluten-free? Use oat flour or a gluten-free blend and adjust water slightly.
  • Sweet twist? Add 1 tbsp maple syrup and use cinnamon or coconut sugar instead of salt.
