These Cassava-Beet Powder Crackers are addictive. Make extras! Baking with cassava flour can vary, depending on the brand. I experimented with a few brands when making this recipe. I saw that when I made this recipe, Carrington’s was a little moist and I added 2 additional tablespoons of cassava flour. Using Bob’s Red Mill, the dough needed 1 to 2 tablespoons of water. Otto’s did not need any adjustments. All three versions were delicious.
Cassava-Beet Powder Crackers
Ingredients
- 1 cup cassava flour
- 3 tablespoons beet powder, (available from Carrington’s or the nutritional supplement section of a natural food store)
- 1 tablespoon golden flax meal
- 1 teaspoon sugar, , optional
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¾ teaspoon kosher or fine sea salt
- 6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil or neutral flavored oil of choice, , more to brush the tops
- 9 tablespoons hot water
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 300°F.
- Put all the dry ingredients into a bowl and mix. Make a well. Pour in the oil and hot water.
- Using a spoon or your hands, mix everything until you have a soft dough. If it feels stiff, add a little more hot water. If it feels too moist, add a little more flour. It should feel like playdough.
- Lay a piece of parchment paper on the counter. Divide the dough in half.
- Roll the dough out until it is a tad thinner than for a pie crust. Use a sharp knife to cut the dough into the size crackers you want. Trim ragged edges. Do not remove from the paper.
- Using a fork, prick the tops.
- Place the parchment onto a baking sheet. Brush with olive oil. Sprinkle with additional coarse salt and bake 35-40 minutes. Repeat with remaining dough.
- The crackers will break into squares after baked. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days or freeze.
