Who doesn't enjoy a good, crunchy cracker with cheese or hummus? YUM YUM! Unfortunately, storebought crackers are full of ingredients I cannot even pronounce! Here is a great alternative.
1 1/2 cups of millet flour
2 cups of whole wheat pastry flour
1/4 cup of melted coconut oil
1 cup buttermilk
Gently mix together the above ingredients, until combined. Use a fork at first, and then knead the dough gently in the bowl until it just comes together into a ball. Cover and leave out overnight on the counter. The next morning, flatten your ball out on the counter, using a little white flour, if needed to prevent sticking.
Sprinkle over the top:
1 teaspoon of sea salt
1 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder
Fold in half and knead gently until salt and baking powder are evenly mixed in (if this intimidates you, you can mix these two ingredients in with the flour the night before). The salt will inhibit some of the soaking process, however.
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees, and lightly flour your surface. Divide into quarters for more control. Roll to about 1/8 inch for a crispy cracker to serve with cheese or hummus. Roll to about ¼ inch for a crumbly cracker for baby. Cut into desired size with a sharp knife and gently lay out on a greased baking sheet and prick with a fork.
Bake for about 14 minutes and check. They will be done when they are browning slightly around the edges. Let cool on cooling sheets. Store in airtight container.
