Ingredients
- 2 cups gluten free flour blend if your favourite GF blend doesn't contain xanthan gum or psyllium husk, add ½ teaspoon of either one
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- ½ c warm water
- ⅓ cup olive oil
- 1 egg or egg replacer
- 2 TBs slivered almonds
- Egg wash 1 egg mixed with a bit of water
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F (175C). Line two trays with baking parchment. Flour a working area.
- In a bowl, combine flour, salt and sugar and stir with a fork stir to combine. In a separate bowl, combine warm water, oil and egg and add to the flour mix. Using a fork, mix these until combined fully.
- Knead gently in bowl for about 30 seconds, until dough comes together.
- Lightly flour your working surface. Divide the dough into four pieces. Roll these out with the rolling pin (if you are looking for more uniform, even crackers, cut these into any desired cracker shape - traditional lavosh crackers are bigger, to allow for more scooping). Once you have your desired shapes, sprinkle with slivered almonds and brush with an egg wash.
- Bake until golden in a preheated 350F oven. The smaller your pieces, the quicker they will cook through; a whole round will take 15-20 minutes, while small rectangles require 10-15 minutes. If you cooked a whole round, break it into desired pieces as soon as it's cool enough to handle.
- Cool completely and store in an airtight container. Serve with a Middle Eastern appetizer platter.

Notes
- Instead of almonds, you can also top these gluten free crackers with sesame seeds and zaatar for a more traditional topping.
