Why homemade crackers?

I give you 3 very good reasons to make your own crackers at home, ESPECIALLY when following a ketogenic or low carb diet.

It’s easy It’s cheap You know exactly what they are made with = only good stuff!

Seriously, it took me about 10 minutes of work to make a batch, then they have to bake for 30 min. and cool for 20 more… then you can eat them!

A low carb / keto diet means being deprived of comfort foods.

WRONG!

That is why I wanted to share this homemade cracker recipe with you!

I am a pretty picky eater, I know good foods from mediocre and bad, but believe, me this recipe is a keeper.

Let me ask you, how many times a day do you tell yourself, “How nice would it be to bite into something with a crunch!” especially something that would go nicely with that avocado salmon boat or with that egg Benedict you are munching on?!

Look no further.

Of course inspiration from Italy!

This really super easy cracker will hit the spot. In this recipe was trying to avoid a heavy eggy flavor, and wanted to replicate the crunchy flatbreads of my childhood. Italians have rosemary crackers and grissini, but of course they are laden with gluten and carbs!

When I think back to my childhood days, the smell of an Italian bakery is printed deeply in my mind. Of course it’s the smell of fresh bread baking, but also of olive oil and rosemary. It’s like the holy trinity of Italian baking. At least in Sanremo, where I come from!

To fill that sense of nostalgia and that need for a crunchy bite, I created this homemade cracker recipe, for you dear reader, so you can stay away from evil glutinous temptations and be successful on your low carb /keto diet!
