How to prepare Teff crackers
To prepare the teff crackers, first pour the water into a saucepan and heat it. In the meantime, take a large bowl and pour in all the dry ingredients: the teff flour, cornmeal 1, pumpkin seeds 2, flax seeds 3,
sunflower seeds 4, sesame seeds 5, and fine salt 6.
When the water is hot, add it to the mixture 7 and also add the oil 8. At this point, mix with a spatula or spoon to combine all the ingredients 9 until you get a soft dough.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the dough with your hands 10 to form a rectangle about 1-2 mm thick 11. Bake in a static oven preheated to 300°F for 25 minutes, placing the tray on the lower rack of the oven. After this time, remove the tray from the oven and cut the rectangle with a sharp knife, first in half horizontally 12, then vertically to get 10 smaller rectangles.
Sprinkle the crackers with coarse salt 13 and bake again for 30 minutes, this time on the middle rack of the oven. After this time, remove the tray from the oven again and let it cool 14. Your teff crackers are ready to be munched on 15!
