Homemade Spicy Crackers

Looking for a healthy Dash Diet cracker option, here is a homemade Spicy Cracker recipe that is so delicious made with whole grain flour, healing spices and nutrient-rich miso.

Ingredients

 1 cup organic whole wheat flour

 3 tbsp nutritional yeast

 ½ tsp baking powder

 ½ tsp garlic powder

 ½ tsp Chia seeds

½ tsp Sesame seeds

 ½ tsp smoked paprika

 ½ tsp ground turmeric

 1 tsp dried oregano

  1 tbsp organic miso (mellow white or chickpea)

 1 tsp lemon juice (freshly squeezed)

 ½ cup water

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 °F.

In a medium bowl, combine the wheat flour, nutritional yeast, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, turmeric, chia, sesame seeds and oregano. Mix well.

In a separate bowl, combine the miso, lemon juice and water. Whisk until the miso is completely dissolved.

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix well until a dough-like consistency forms. Mix with clean hands and if there are still dry ingredients that are not mixing into the dough then add one tablespoon of water at a time until a dough-like consistency forms.

Transfer the dough to a piece of parchment paper large enough to fit a large rimmed baking pan. Roll out the dough until very thin, about 1/16-inch thick, measuring about 11×13 inches.

Transfer the parchment paper and rolled-out dough to a large rimmed baking sheet. With a pizza cutter or knife, cut the rolled dough into 2-inch squares.

If desired, remove any uneven pieces of dough from around the edges and press together into a small disk and roll it out to get more crackers.

Bake for 15–20 minutes, flipping and rotating crackers halfway through (rotating the crackers in the center to around the edges of the baking sheet and the crackers around the edges to the center of the baking sheet), or until the crackers are golden.

Cool completely on the baking sheet. They will get crispier as they cool.
