3. How do I make the crackers extra crispy?
Roll the dough as thin as possible and bake until the edges are golden brown.
4. Can I use different seasonings?
Absolutely! Garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, or everything bagel seasoning work well.
5. Are these crackers gluten-free?

6. Can I make these crackers vegan?
Yes, replace the egg with a flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons water).
7. How do I prevent the crackers from sticking?
Using parchment paper when rolling and baking will prevent sticking.
8. Can I make these crackers nut-free?
Replace almond flour with sunflower seed flour for a nut-free version.
