Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup chickpea flour (Besan)
  • 1/4 cup mixed seeds (pumpkin, sunflower, flax, and sesame seeds)
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • About 1/4 cup water (adjust as needed to form dough)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dry ingredients: Combine chickpea flour, mixed seeds, ground cumin, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and baking powder in a large mixing bowl. Mix well to ensure even distribution of flavors.
  2. Add wet ingredients: Pour in the olive oil, then gradually add water while stirring continuously until a smooth, firm dough forms that is not sticky but holds together well.
  3. Roll out the dough: Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out thinly and evenly to about 1/8 inch thickness for maximum crunch.
  4. Cut into cracker shapes: Using a sharp knife or pizza cutter, slice the dough into small squares, rectangles, or your preferred shapes for easy snacking.
  5. Bake until golden: Transfer the parchment paper with the cut dough onto a baking tray. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through to achieve an even golden brown and crisp texture.
  6. Cool and enjoy: Allow the crackers to cool completely on a wire rack before breaking apart and serving to lock in the perfect crunch.

Notes

  • Roll the dough evenly to ensure consistent baking and crunch.
  • Include a good mix of seeds for texture and flavor.
  • Start checking crackers a few minutes before the end of baking time as ovens vary.
  • Store crackers in an airtight container to maintain crispness.
  • For nuttier flavor, lightly toast seeds before adding to the dough.
