Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour (195g)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon spices of choice (cinnamon or garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, etc.)
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup sweet potato puree (240g)
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1/4 cup grated cheese of choice (optional)
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients. First stir with a spoon, then knead everything together by hand until a dough forms. If the dough feels too sticky, add more flour 1 tablespoon at a time. Cover and refrigerate for at least one hour to firm up the dough.
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Dough: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Divide the dough into two portions. On a floured surface, roll out each portion to about 1/8 inch thickness. Adjust thickness depending on desired crispiness.
- Cut Crackers: Use a sharp knife, pizza cutter, or fluted pastry wheel to cut the dough into desired shapes such as squares, rectangles, or fun cookie cutter shapes.
- Transfer to Baking Sheet: Move the parchment paper with the cut crackers directly onto a prepared baking sheet, spacing crackers slightly apart.
- Bake and Flip: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes. Then carefully flip each cracker over and bake an additional 10-15 minutes until golden brown and crisp along the edges. Monitor closely toward the end to avoid burning.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow crackers to cool completely on the baking sheet. This helps them crisp up further before serving.
Notes
- Adjust spices according to preference—savory spices like garlic or smoked paprika for a savory cracker, or cinnamon for a sweeter option.
- Adding cheese is optional but recommended for added flavor and richness.
- Store crackers in an airtight container to maintain freshness and crispness.
- Thickness of the dough affects crunchiness; thinner dough yields crispier crackers.
- Watch closely in the final minutes of baking to prevent over-browning or burning.
