Priprema:

1. U velikoj činiji pomešaj integralno brašno, prašak za pecivo, dimljenu papriku, beli luk u prahu i origano ili timijan.

Hrskavi paradajz krekeri (Crispy tomato crackers)

Sastojci: 100 g bademovog brašna, 20 g tapioka brašna (ili kukuruznog skroba), 30 g mlevenog lanenog semena, 2 kašike gustog paradajz pirea, 1 kašika maslinovog ulja + 1 kašičica za premaz, ½ kašičice suvog origana,  ½ kašičice belog luka u prahu,  prstohvat soli, prstohvat dimljene paprike u prahu (opciono),  2–3 kašike vode (po potrebi).

Priprema:

1. U velikoj činiji pomešaj bademovo i tapioka brašno sa mlevenim lanenim semenom, origanom, belim lukom, solju i dimljenom paprikom.

2. Dodaj paradajz pire i maslinovo ulje i promešaj.

2b. Postepeno dodaj vodu dok ne dobiješ kompaktno, a ipak malo lepljivo testo.

Ne treba dugo mesiti. Samo dok se sastojci lepo povežu u homogeno testo, oko 1–2 minuta rukom ili varjačom. Predugo mešenje može učiniti testo previše gusto ili uljasto jer bademovo brašno brzo upija masnoću.

Testo će biti mekano i malo lepljivo kada se meša, ali dovoljno čvrsto da se oblikuje i razvuče. Ne sme biti previše tečno niti suvo i mrvičasto. Dodavanjem 2–3 kašike vode po potrebi dobijaš pravu teksturu.
