Chickpea And Buckwheat Crackers With Turmeric And Fennel

• 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons (165 g) buckwheat "hot" cereal (see note)
• 2/3 cup (66 grams) walnut pieces
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt (use 1/4 teaspoon if garbanzo beans are salted)
• 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1 1/2 cups (220g) cooked, drained, garbanzo beans (chickpeas); canned (low-sodium) is fine
• 1/3 cup (80g) mashed ripe banana (no need to mash if you weigh it)
• TOPPING
• Salt (fine or flaky) and pepper (from grinder)
• 1 teaspoon fennel seeds
• 2 teaspoons white or black sesame seeds

1. Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven. Preheat a non-convection oven to 350u0b0 F. (Adjust the temperature accordingly for a convection oven).
2. Put the cereal and walnut pieces in the bowl of a food processor and process until the walnuts are the same texture as the cereal. Add the baking powder, salt, turmeric, cumin and pepper and pulse to blend. Add the garbanzo beans and bananas and process to a soft sticky dough.
3. Put a sheet of parchment paper the size of a baking sheet on the counter in front of you. Put half of dough on the parchment and pat it into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick. Place a sheet of wax paper or cut-open plastic bag on top and roll the dough (with a straight, not tapered, rolling pin) into a rectangle slightly less than 1/8 inch thick (reality check: your Phone cord is 1/8th thick)-or about 9" by 13" (or the equivalent). Peel back and remove the wax paper. Prick the dough all over with a fork. Score (all the way through) with a bench scraper or a knife to make square or rectangular crackers. Sprinkle the surface evenly with a couple very small pinches of salt-crushing flaky salt between your fingers as you sprinkle to eliminate huge flakes. Sprinkle the surface with half of the fennel seeds, then half of the sesame seeds. Grind a very small amount of pepper over it all. Roll very gently over the surface to adhere the toppings. Slide the parchment onto a baking sheet. Repeat with the second half of the dough and remaining toppings.
4. Bake crackers for 15 minutes, rotating the sheets from top to bottom and front to back about halfway through the time. Remove sheets from the oven and turn the oven down to 300u0b0 F. Separate the crackers on each sheet and return to the oven until golden brown, 8-12 minutes (rotating the sheets again).
5. Set trays on racks to cool. Cooled crackers should be crispy and crunchy, not at all chewy. If necessary, return them to a 300-degree oven for 8-10 minutes-twice-baked crackers are often the best of all!
6. Once cool and crisp, store crackers in an airtight container.
