PUMPKIN CRACKERS: It’s pumpkin season and the grocery shelves are bursting with pumpkin purée. If you’re looking for more recipes to use up your pumpkin purée, this is a yummy and simple recipe. Five simple ingredients (not including toppings which are optional) & you have a great fall snack for those charcuterie boards. The holidays are fast approaching and making your own crackers is very simple. These are savory but also sweet because I added cranberries. They’re not salty at all but you can add more salt if you prefer. These are perfect for dipping in jams or even with a slice of cheese.


There are two options for slicing these crackers, you can either:

  1. Slice them before baking (The dough may stick together when you slice the dough but you can gently pull them apart) or
  2. First bake the entire rolled out dough for 5 minutes, remove them from oven, slice them into your preferred shapes then bake them again until a light golden color. (This makes it easier to slice because the dough isn’t sticky when sliced).


The number of crackers you get will vary depending on how you slice them.

Ingredients
For the crackers
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • ¼ tsp Himalayan sea salt 
  • 1 tbsp hemp seeds
  • 3 tablespoons canned pumpkin puree
  • 3 tbsp water
  • Toppings of choice (opt) I used pumpkin seeds, finely chopped dried cranberries, finely chopped fresh rosemary
Instructions
For the crackers
Pre-heat oven to 400°F
In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the flour, hemp seeds, salt, pumpkin puree & water. Mix until a firm dough forms. If too sticky add a little more flour. The dough shouldn’t be sticky.
Turn dough out onto a floured surface, knead until it’s slightly elastic, then flatten into a disc, cover & let sit for 15 min.
With a rolling pin, roll the dough out as thin as possible. It should be thin so they bake up crisp. 
Add additional toppings of choice over the dough then place a piece of parchment paper over it. Roll lightly using a rolling pin to ensure toppings are pressed into the dough. 
Two options here for cutting, you can cut them before baking or bake the entire rolled out dough for 5 minutes, remove from oven, cut into preferred shapes then bake again until a light golden color (read notes in caption).
Total bake time should be anywhere between 8 to 10 minutes until golden in color.
