Recipe for homemade whole grain crackers with chili:
Ingredients:
– 1 cup whole wheat flour
– 1/2 cup rolled oats
– 1/4 cup sesame seeds
– 1/4 cup flaxseeds
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1 tablespoon chili powder (adjust according to your spice preference)
– 1/4 cup olive oil
– 1/4 cup water
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, sesame seeds, flaxseeds, baking powder, salt, and chili powder. Stir until well combined.
3. Add the olive oil to the dry ingredients and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Gradually add the water, stirring continuously, until a dough forms. You may not need to use all of the water, so add it slowly to avoid making the dough too wet.
5. Once the dough comes together, transfer it onto a lightly floured surface and knead it gently for a minute or two until smooth.
6. Roll out the dough into a thin rectangle, about 1/8 inch thick. You can use a rolling pin for this.
7. Using a knife or a pizza cutter, cut the dough into small squares or rectangles to form crackers. You can also use cookie cutters to create different shapes if desired.
8. Transfer the crackers onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the crackers are golden brown and crisp.
10. Once baked, remove the crackers from the oven and allow them to cool completely on a wire rack.
11. Once cooled, store the chili whole grain crackers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
