Vegan Cheese Crackers + Hummus

I’ve been experimenting with making vegan crackers lately.

& it isn’t that difficult.

It’s definitely a challenge, but totally worth it!

This was my third time making vegan crackers and I have to say, it’s getting easier with each trial.

I was even able to come up with this recipe from scratch! I’m very proud of myself because I always wondered when do bakers learn to just whip up something real quick.

Well, now I know that a spontaneous trip to the kitchen can lead to beautiful, tasty creations.

I was so excited when the dough formed that I had to get proof:

Next, I decided to make them EXTRA cheesy so I used this tasty seasoning that I’ve been messin’ around with.

 

After dousing the dough with the seasoning, I rolled over the dough with the rolling pin a few more times to fully incorporate the spices into the mix and to get the dough as thin as possible.

***I know it’s hard to see, but I rolled the dough until it was almost transparent, which was the perfect thing to do for this recipe, as the cracker came out very crispy and crunchy.

Next, I transferred the dough to a baking tray, cut out the shapes of the crackers with a pizza roller, and put the tray in the oven at 350 degrees F.

After baking for not even 6 minutes, they came out looking like this:

I didn’t even have to worry about the crackers sticking to the tray! They are just marvelous.

This is how thin my crackers turned out:

Please excuse the seasoning under my nails 😛

The outcome:

***not gonna lie – it took me a long time to like nutritional yeast and accept it as “cheese,” it tasted nothing like cheese and I was sad & alone with a sad naked omelette, but now, here&now, I love it. It’s definitely cheesey, you’ve just gotta combine it with some spices and use a lot of it! Horay for deactivated bacteria!

This was the perfect amount for one person! Definitely more than what you’d get in one of those standard bags of Doritos.

Also, I probably shouldn’t have eaten them all in one sitting, but I couldn’t resist!

I will be working on this recipe, more and more. I will perfect this one.
