Gluten Free Soda Crackers

"The store bought GF crackers just aren't that good and they're very expensive. I found this recipe somewhere on the internet. This recipe works best with a white rice flour blend."

directions

  • Sift the flour, salt and baking soda into a bowl.

  • Cut into square or rounds and place on lightly buttered cookie sheets.
  • Prick the crackers with a fork and sprinkle with coarse salt.
  • Bake in a 400 degree oven for 10 minutes or until very lightly browned.

  • NOTE: These taste best after they have cooled completely.

  1. Could you use a pasta maker instead of rolling the dough?

  1. These are great!!! I used Bob's All Purpose GF Flour and they turned out really well. I rolled mine out on parchment paper, scored them and stuck the whole thing on a cookie sheet...made it much easier. I will be making these many times!!! Thank you.
     
  2. These are good. I used the good processor to mix them. I used King Arthur AP blend flour-GF. I rolled them on parchment, scored them, docked them and sprinkled with kosher salt. The flavor is really good. The center ones didn't crisp as I would have liked and I didn't use enough salt on top. Next time, I will try with a homemade GF blend and will separate the crackers before baking.
     
  3. Instead of rolling out the dough, I divided it into several balls and used a tortilla press with wax paper dusted with GF flour. This allowed me to get them uniformly thin.These were okay for a gluten free cracker. They tasted more like a pie crust than a cracker, however. I think I will actually use this recipe to make a savory pie crust for things like chicken pot pie.
     
  4. OMG! I have been wishing (for a long time) for a simple, easy and tasty cracker to make . . . . thank you so much. I found the dough consistency quite sticky but found that adding a little flour each time I rolled it out helped, am going to try them with fresh rosemary next time. Thanks so much :)
     
  5. The crackers tasted great but I had a lot of problems rolling out the dough. Looking at the reviews, I should have read the second one before rolling out the whole batch at once. Nice work! ;-)

  1. You can add cheese powder to this (available on amazon etc) and make wonderful gf "goldfish"! In my case I put about a half cup cheese powder and another egg, and then kept adding flour until it wasnt as sticky.
