2. Ingredients for Pizza Cracker Recipe
- 4 sheets leftover lavash flat bread
- 3 tablespoons dried marjoram
- 3 tablespoons dried oregano

3. Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Coarsely chop the Parmesan chunk and blend it into a fine powder in a food processor. Set aside.
- Place a sheet of lavash flat bread on a flat surface. Cover with a thin layer of tomato sauce. Using a medium-mesh strainer, sprinkle with the sugar. Then, sprinkle the dried herbs, crushed red peppers and Parmesan cheese.
- Using kitchen shears, snip into 3½” squares. A pizza wheel would work fine too.
- Transfer to several non-stick baking pans (or line them with parchment paper). Bake for 10-12 minutes until the flatbread is slightly golden and slightly hardened. Remove from the oven and let cool until firm.
- Bon appétit!
4. Tips and advices:
- For optimum results, if using homemade tomato sauce, try to use the San Marzano tomato variety. They’re the best paste tomatoes for making sauces, so the crackers won’t turn into a soggy mess.
