TIPS:

Modify the thickness:

To guarantee consistent baking, try to roll out the dough to an even thickness. Crackers that are thicker will be chewier, and those that are thinner will be crispier.

Variations in Flavour:

To alter the flavour, try using various seeds, herbs, or spices. For a cheese taste, try adding nutritional yeast; for a little spiciness, try adding chilli powder.

Keep an eye on the baking time:

Watch the crackers while they bake. To avoid overbaking, check for doneness at the 30-minute mark because ovens might vary.

Cooling

Before storing, let the crackers cool fully on a wire rack or at room temperature. They keep their crispiness as a result.

Storage:

The cooled crackers can be kept for up to a week at room temperature in an airtight container. Consider freezing them for extended storage.

Employ High-Quality Ingredients:

Fresh olive oil and premium flaxseed meal will improve the taste and nutritious content of your crackers.

Paper of Parchment:

In addition to preventing sticking, parchment paper facilitates the crackers’ transition to the cutting board and baking sheet.

Prior to baking, cut:

Scoring the dough before baking guarantees equal baking and makes it easier to break into pieces later.

Include Texture:

Nuts and seeds can be used to provide crunch and extra nutrients. you maintain the dough’s equilibrium, simply be sure you modify the total measurements.

Verify the freshness:

Improper storage can cause flaxseed meal to turn rancid. Keep it in storage.
