Gluten Free Sunflower Sesame Crackers
Crunchy, seedy, and deeply satisfying, these crackers deliver everything you want from a snack board staple — without a trace of wheat in sight. Rice flour and tapioca starch form the base, with xanthan gum doing the structural work that gluten would normally handle, so you get a genuinely crisp bite rather than something crumbly and sad. Raw sunflower seeds and sesame seeds are folded right into the dough, meaning every single cracker is packed with nutty flavor and a little texture in every snap. Store-bought options can be hit or miss when it comes to dedicated facilities and shared equipment, so making your own gives you full control over what goes into the batch. The technique is straightforward — roll the dough thin between two sheets of parchment, score it into squares, and let the oven do the rest. A finish of flaky sea salt before baking takes them from good to genuinely hard to stop eating. This recipe makes six servings, so there's plenty to pile onto a cheese board, dip into hummus, or just crunch through on a Tuesday afternoon.
