Notes
Recommended Food Processor
Can I add in additional seeds to this recipe, and it work out? Yes, you can add a variety of seeds to this recipe, and it will work out. You need to keep the total amount of additions to 1/4 cup so the crackers will hold together. Consider kneading the seed mixture into the dough once it has come out of the processor. Any type of seed will work well, such as: everything bagel seasoning, chia seeds, sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds and flax seeds. If you find that your dough is falling apart, knead in a pinch of xanthan gum or a sprinkle of some gluten-free flour to hold it together.
Can I use another cheese in place of the parmesan next time? Yes, any type of hard cheese will work in this recipe. You can try softer cheeses like cheddar or mozzarella but do not add too much water in until you have processed the dry ingredients to be able to tell how much you need to add in. You may only need half of the little water called for in the original recipe. If the dough seems too sticky, add in a few tablespoons more of sunflower seeds until it is not. If it is too dry, add in water a little bit at a time till you get the non-sticky dough to roll out.
