Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup (120 g) chickpea flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp dried rosemary
- 1 tbsp nigella seeds
Wet Ingredients
- 2 tbsp (30 ml) olive oil (optional)
- 1 1/2 cups (360 ml) water
Instructions
- Mix dry and wet ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine chickpea flour, salt, and olive oil. Gradually whisk in the water while whisking vigorously to create a smooth, lump-free batter.
- Prepare the baking tray: Brush a 37 cm × 25 cm (14.5 inches × 10 inches) baking tray lightly with oil and line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Pour and spread batter: Pour the chickpea batter evenly onto the prepared tray and gently shake the pan to distribute the batter uniformly across the surface.
- Add herbs and seeds: Sprinkle dried rosemary over one half and nigella seeds over the other half of the batter for flavor and texture.
- First bake: Place the tray in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) and bake for 10 minutes until the batter develops a dry texture.
- Cut into crackers: Remove from the oven and cut the semi-baked dough into small squares or desired cracker shapes using a pizza cutter or sharp knife.
- Second bake: Return the cut crackers to the oven and bake at 340°F (170°C) for an additional 40 minutes, or until completely dry and crispy.
- Cool and serve: Allow the crackers to cool completely before serving with your favorite dips.
Notes
- Olive oil is optional but adds richness and improves texture.
- Make sure to whisk the batter well to avoid lumps for the best cracker texture.
- You can customize the seasoning by using other herbs or seeds according to your taste.
- Store cooled crackers in an airtight container to maintain crispness.
