Chickpea Tomato Herb Crackers
Makes about 4 Dozen (1-1/2 to 2” Crackers)

½ cup brown rice flour
½ cup garbanzo (chickpea) flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 Tbsp flaxmeal
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp onion powder
½ tsp dried basil*
½ tsp dried rosemary*
¼ tsp dried oregano*
1 tsp dried parsley
3 Tbsp tomato paste
1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1/3 cup water

In a small bowl, combine all ingredients and stir well to make a smooth paste-like consistency. If the dough is too wet, add more flour. If it is too dry, add a little more water in small amounts until the dough can easily be rolled, but is not too wet.

Preheat oven to 350°F. Place the dough on a silicone mat or a sheet of parchment paper cut to fit a large baking tray. With a spatula or your hands (moistened with water to keep the dough from sticking), gently form the dough into a rectangle. Cover the dough with waxed paper and roll it into a large rectangle, about 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick. Remove the waxed paper. With a pizza cutter or a butter knife, gently score the dough into 1-1/2 to 2-inch squares to form your crackers. (Don’t stress over perfection!)

Place the pan on the rack in the middle of the oven and bake for 25 to 35 minutes, until the crackers are crisp and lightly browned. The baking time will vary depending upon how thick the dough has been rolled and whether they are baked on parchment paper or silicone, so they must be watched closely.

Important! Monitor the crackers as they bake, starting at about 10 minutes into the baking time. Remove any browned crackers along the edges as they bake to prevent them from burning. When all are baked (lightly browned, dry to the touch, and move freely on the baking sheet), remove the pan from the oven and allow the crackers to cool. Store in a covered container at room temperature.

* If preferred, you can use 1-1/4 tsp (or more) of Italian seasoning in place of the basil, rosemary and oregano.
