Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup Nutritional yeast
- 3 tablespoons Vegan butter or coconut oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Cold water
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking tray by lining it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, nutritional yeast, baking powder, turmeric, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and salt.
Add the vegan butter or coconut oil to the dry ingredients and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Slowly add the cold water, one tablespoon at a time, and mix until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and roll it out to about 1/8-inch thickness.
Using a small cookie cutter (such as a fish or square shape), cut out your crackers and place them on the prepared baking tray. Re-roll any scraps of dough and repeat.
If using sesame seeds, sprinkle them on top of the crackers and gently press to adhere.
Bake the crackers in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden and crispy.
Allow the crackers to cool completely on a wire rack. They will crisp up further as they cool.
Store the crackers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
