FAQ

- These crackers are essentially the base of a fathead cheese pizza, rolled thin and baked until crispy. The recipe is straightforward, requiring only three ingredients.

- Unfortunately, these crackers are not suitable for those who are lactose intolerant, as they are cheese-based.
- What are some serving suggestions for Ketogenic Fathead Crackers?

- How can I ensure the crackers turn out crispy?

- How should I store leftover Ketogenic Fathead Crackers?

Tips
- To ensure a crispy texture, roll the dough as thin as possible, ideally to about 1/8 inch (3.175 mm). This will help the crackers bake faster and achieve the desired crispiness.
- When melting the cheese in the microwave, aim for just melted consistency by heating it for 60 to 90 seconds, depending on your microwave’s power. This will help you achieve the right dough consistency when mixed with almond flour.
- While baking, check the dough every 5 to 8 minutes. Remove it from the oven when it is firm enough to cut but still slightly soft. Cut into pieces and return them to the oven for a final bake to ensure even cooking.
- Store any leftover crackers in a sealed container with a paper towel at the bottom to absorb any moisture, helping maintain their crispiness.
