Yet another recipe with chickpea flour. I am crazy about this stuff. I posted a similar chickpea cracker recipe<\/a> before, but this one deserves an extra post.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Do you know hummus<\/a>? Its main ingredients are chickpeas and sesame paste. I don’t know why it didn’t strike me earlier to combine these ingredients in the cracker too. So here we are: chickpea crackers with sesame seeds. Lots of sesame seeds. Black and white ones. The crackers go beautifully with the hummus. We eat both by the kilo these days. A light, vegan and gluten -free snack, yet filling. Bon appetit.

HERBED CHICKPEA AND SESAME CRACKERS<\/b><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n(Print Recipe<\/a>)<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
1 cup chickpea flour (besan)<\/div>\n
1\/2 teaspoon salt<\/div>\n
2 tablespoons white sesame seeds<\/div>\n
1 tablespoon black sesame seeds<\/div>\n
2 tablespoons fresh thyme, finely chopped<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
1 teaspoon olive or sesame oil<\/div>\n
1\/4 cup water<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Yields about 20 (depending on size)<\/div>\n

———————————————————————–
\nPreheat oven to 175C\/375F.<\/p>\n

In a large bowl, sift together chickpea flour, salt, sesame seeds and thyme. Stir in oil, then ad the water. Knead until it becomes a supple dough. Add little more flour if too wet, or little more water if too dry. Form dough into a disc.
\nBetween two sheets of parchment paper, roll out the dough evenly and as thin as possible, to 1\/8 inch thickness (or less if you can). Remove top baking sheet. With a knife or cookie cutter, cut the dough into desired shapes. Poke each cracker with a fork to prevent puffing. Transfer onto baking sheet (with bottom parchment paper).
\nBake for 15-18 minutes or until edges turn golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool. Break crackers at pre-cut edges. Serve immediately or keep in open bowl (they tend to un-crisp in airtight containers).<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
