This is a BIG recipe too, providing you with 7-8 dozen crackers so the effort keeps paying off!

Ingredients 

• 2 ½ cups Otto’s Naturals - Cassava Flour
• ¾ cup olive oil, divided
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup water
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• ¼ tsp garlic powder

Instructions 

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit
2. In your food processor, fitted with dough blade (or stand mixture with dough hook) combine 2 1/2 cups Otto’s Naturals - Cassava Flour, 1/2 cup olive oil, salt, water, shredded cheddar cheese, and garlic powder. Process until a smooth dough is formed.*
3. Divide dough into 4 equal portions. Roll out one portion on a silpat with a piece of parchment paper on top until 1/16 inch thick.
4. Using a pizza cutter, cut rows (about 1 inch) diagonally, and repeat horizontally to create squares. Prick each cracker using a fork (to avoid puffing). Brush crackers with remaining ¼ cup olive oil. If desired, lightly salt the tops of the crackers.
5. Bake at 400 on a middle oven rack for 6-8 minutes or until lightly brown and crispy. (I suggest turning your rack after the first 4 minutes of baking)
6. Transfer baked crackers to a cooling rack, they will get crispier as they cool.

*If the dough is too dry, add more water 1 teaspoon at a time. If it is too wet, add additional cassava flour 1 tablespoon at a time. Don’t worry, you cannot over work this dough!

 

NOTE: Crackers that are thinner will start to brown. Adjust cooking time according to the thickness of your crackers.
