I'm cooking this todayRecipe's preparation
Preheat your oven to 180° C/350° F. Peel the garlic cloves, 4 seconds/reverse blade direction/Speed 4; remove skins from bowl.
Add all other ingredients except oil and water into the TM bowl and grind 10 seconds/Speed 10 or until you have a medium-fine mix.
Add oil and water and mix Speed 4/4 or 5 seconds.
Empty out on to a parchment-lined baking sheet, put another piece of parchment on top and roll out as evenly as possible until about 3mm / ¼ inch thick. Remove the top sheet of parchment paper and reserve. Score the cracker mixture with a knife, marking out little squares.
Bake at 180° for 20 to 25 minutes, depending on how moist the mixture is. If the edges catch a little towards the end of cooking, cover the pan with the reserved layer of parchment. Remove from oven; transfer the crackers on the parchment to a cooling rack. When cool, break apart along the scores and enjoy.
Tip
These crackers are delightfully savoury and can be made with endless variations of nuts and seeds – especially handy when guests drop by unexpectedly and you need a quick cracker fix. In addition to being delicious, they just happen to be gluten free. The little kick from the cayenne pepper is divine!

Hi Sas, I find that if you roll them out thicker they aren't so crumbly. Thermomix UK Team Leader Nora posted this same recipe on her blog and she dropped blobs of the dough into silicone muffin tins and came up with gorgeous-looking, 3mm thick crackers. Take a look at the comments at the bottom of her post: http://journalofafrenchfoodie.com/2013/12/11/bernies-gluten-free-crackers/
And thanks for reminding me that it's time to make another batch of these delicious crackers!

Hi
I've made these several times using flax seed or sunflower seeds and they always come out very delicate and crumbly, even though the taste is amazing!
Is there some secret to making them firmer or are they supposed to be like this?
Cheers
Sas
