Daring Bakers: Going “Crackers” …..
over another Daring Baker Challenge. Our hosts this month, are Shel of Musings from the Fish Bowl and Natalie of Gluten A Go Go and they vegan and/or gluten-free lavash crackers from Peter Reinhart’s The Bread Baker’s Apprentice. I had big plans to get very creative with this months challenge; but, then last night while having a glass of wine, listening to the debate, hanging out with my man and twittering, I realized (thanks to Susan) that the challenge was due today! EEEKKSS!
Basically, I had to throw it all together as we have a pretty busy weekend planned. Lucky for me, the recipe was very easy and came together nicely. I decided to use two different toppings for the lavash; a fennel/garlic/kosher salt and poppy seeds and also a lavender salt. My dip of choice to serve with these lovely crackers was a Meyer Lemon Hummus. Both lavash came out really well, if I do say so myself. Crispy but light and very flavorful especially with the creamy/lemony hummus. Perfect snack for a very warm afternoon in the city!
So, let me pour you a glass of rose and enjoy!
Oh yum! The toppings sound fantastic. Great job on the challenge! I have to remember to throw some lavender buds in the salt cellar…
Seems like quite a few people got caught out with the posting date this month. Despite having to scramble to get them made, your lavash look fantastic!
Whew! We made it! Your lavash turned out great! I love that hummus too. The more lemon, the better. Well done!
Cheers! Well done. I did the crackers at the beginning of September but almost forgot to post.
I was eying my fennel seeds, but decided against them at the last minute. Next time I’ll definitely use a sprinkling of fennel seeds, your lavash looks great!
I can totally taste all those beautiful textures and flavors on your crackers. Crackers are my weakness and I know that I can eat a TON of these!
Lavendar salt sounds like an interesting choice of topping. Very beautiful!
Mmmm… that looks pretty appetizing!
All the spices you put on top, makes them look like a meal in itself!
Great participation!
WOW these looks great. I love all your spices sounds to die for!
Great Lavash Crackers and dip! Wonderful!
cheers,
Rosa
I am going to have to conquer crackers during this year’s Eat Local Challenge — it’s one of my downfalls and I’ve never done a great job at making them (they come out tasting like wheat thins). Thanks for the inspiration.

Well done under pressure Denise! The hummus looks awesome and the crackers toppings are a lot of fun!
