GF Herb & Sea Salt Chick Pea Crackers

Herb & Sea Salt Chick Pea crackers - GF

2 cups chick pea flour
1 tsp BP
125ml warm water
30ml olive oil
1 tsp sea salt
2 tsp dried rosemary
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp paprika
extra sea salt

Pre-heat oven to 190oC (170oC). Place flour and baking powder in a food processor and with the motor running, pour water and oil into the flour until a dough has formed. Add a little extra water if required.

Step 2

Tip dough out onto a floured surface and knead gently. Set aside covered for 20 minutes.

Step 3

Roll dough out between two pieces of baking paper to approximately 20 x 30 cm thick. Remove top baking paper and sprinkle with the herbs, paprika and salt. Roll over them with the rolling pin to press into the dough. Prick dough all over with a fork and cut into small rectangles without cutting all the way through.

Step 4

Bake for 15 – 20 minutes until crisp and brown. Allow to cool, break into portions then serve with your favourite dips and cheeses.

Tips


Substitute herbs and paprika with a spice blend like za’atar or dukkah. Sprinkle a little grated parmesan over the top or try dry fennel or cumin seeds.

Crackers will keep for 2 – 3 days in an airtight container.
