Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup chickpea (garbanzo bean) flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon sea salt or pink salt, plus extra for sprinkling
Wet Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the crackers.
- Mix ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine chickpea flour, baking powder, sea salt, water, and olive oil thoroughly until a dough starts to come together.
- Form dough ball: Stir the mixture until it forms a cohesive dough ball that holds together well.
- Prepare dough for rolling: Place the dough ball on a parchment paper-lined surface. Sprinkle flour over the dough, then flip it and sprinkle flour again to prevent sticking.
- Roll out dough: Roll the dough evenly until it reaches about 1/8 inch thickness to ensure crisp crackers.
- Cut crackers: Use a pizza cutter or knife to slice the dough into your desired cracker shapes.
- Prick and season: Prick the tops of the crackers gently with a wet fork to prevent bubbling, then sprinkle additional sea salt on top for flavor.
- Transfer to baking sheet: Carefully transfer the parchment paper with the dough and crackers onto a cookie sheet to keep the shapes intact during baking.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes until the crackers are crisp, golden, and the edges start to darken.
- Cool: Remove the crackers from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet before breaking them apart.
- Serve and enjoy: Once cooled, break the crackers apart and serve as a healthy, crunchy snack.
Notes
- Ensure the dough is rolled evenly to achieve uniform crispiness.
- Use wet fork to prick crackers to avoid air bubbles while baking.
- Store leftover crackers in an airtight container to keep them crisp.
- Feel free to experiment with additional seasonings like garlic powder or herbs for variety.
