What is the Best Kind of Flour to Use for Crackers

Once you've found the right recipe and know the perfect homemade cracker baking time, making homemade crackers is just as easy as making cookies. And like cookies, several different types of flours can be used to create delicious crackers. So, if you're eager to begin making crackers at home and are wondering how to spice up homemade crackers or what ingredients you'll need to get started, then you've landed on the right article. Keep scrolling for a complete guide on the different types of flours to use in homemade cracker recipes. We'll highlight everything from coconut flour to tapioca flour, and recipes you can create with each.

Tapioca Flour

As one of the most delicious and versatile gluten free flours, tapioca flour makes for an excellent base for cracker dough. Starchy and slightly sweet, it's a staple in gluten free baking and can also replace cornstarch as a thickener. Tapioca flour is usually presented in the form of a white powder made from the starch of the cassava root. When mixed with baking powder, salt and water, it creates an excellent cracker dough that can be flavored any way you like.

Made with tapioca flour and premium shelled sunflower seeds, they're a healthy grain free snack. Pair them with cheese, dips and vegetarian cracker toppings, or enjoy them on their own. We're confident you won't be disappointed.

Flaxseed Meal

Flaxseed meal is another gluten free ingredient that can create crackers overflowing with flavor and nutrition. Its mild, nutty flavor lends a unique taste to this treat that works well when combined with several herbs and spices. Additionally, flaxseeds contain an abundance of omega-3 fatty acids essential to a healthy diet. Cold milled to preserve freshness and overall nutrition, our flaxseed meal can be used to make different types of crackers, each with a unique flavor and texture.
