Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 cups (150 g) almond flour
- 1 large egg
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp ground flaxseed
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
Instructions
- Mixing Base: Combine almond flour, ground flaxseed, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl, thoroughly blending dry ingredients to ensure uniform distribution.
- Dough Formation: Add egg and olive oil to the dry mixture, gently folding until a cohesive dough forms, allowing brief resting if texture seems too sticky to adjust moisture absorption.
- Preparation Surface: Place dough between two parchment sheets, rolling out to a thin, uniform layer approximately 1/8 inch thick, using additional almond flour if needed to prevent adhesiveness.
- Shaping Crackers: Slice the rolled dough into precise, symmetrical geometric shapes using a pizza cutter, ensuring clean, crisp edges for consistent baking.
- Baking Process: Transfer cracker pieces to a baking sheet, maintaining adequate spacing for optimal heat circulation, then bake in a preheated oven until edges transform to a golden-brown, crisp texture.
- Cooling Stage: Extract crackers from oven and place on a wire rack, allowing complete cooling to develop the signature crunchiness characteristic of keto crackers.
Notes
- Manage Moisture Carefully: Control dough hydration by adding almond flour gradually to prevent overly sticky texture, ensuring perfect cracker consistency.
- Precision in Rolling: Use even pressure when rolling dough between parchment papers to guarantee uniform thickness, which guarantees consistent crispness across all crackers.
- Prevent Burning Edges: Watch crackers closely during baking, as almond flour tends to brown quickly; lower oven temperature slightly if edges darken too rapidly.
- Storage Strategy: Store completely cooled crackers in airtight container with silica gel packet to maintain crispness and prevent moisture absorption, extending shelf life up to one week.
