FAQ

Pro Tips
- Roll the dough as thinly and evenly as possible, about ⅛-inch thick, between two sheets of parchment. Any thicker patches stay chewy instead of baking crisp.
- Score the rolled dough with a pizza cutter before baking so the crackers break into clean, straight pieces afterward. Cut just deep enough to make a line without slicing through.
- When the bake is done, turn the oven off and leave the crackers inside with the door ajar to cool completely. That final dry-out draws off the last moisture and guarantees a super crisp snap.
- Mix 1 teaspoon of dried rosemary, garlic powder, or everything bagel seasoning into the dry ingredients for extra flavor without changing the keto macros.
- Store the cooled crackers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks. Keep in mind the chia, flax, and psyllium husk are the binders that hold the dough together.
