Ingredients
  

1 cup whole wheat flour

1 cup finely shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/3 cup warm water

1 tsp dried oregano

1 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional for heat)

1/2 tsp salt

1 cup mixed veggies (bell peppers, olives, carrots, mushrooms) finely chopped

Olive oil for brushing

1/4 cup pizza sauce for dipping

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    In a large bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, oregano, garlic powder, crushed red pepper flakes, and salt. Stir until the dry ingredients are well mixed.

      Slowly add the warm water to the dry mixture, stirring continuously until a dough begins to form. If the dough is too sticky, you can add a little more flour, one tablespoon at a time, until it reaches a manageable consistency.

        Fold in the chopped veggies until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

          Divide the dough into smaller portions (about 4-6 pieces) for easier handling. On a floured surface, roll out each portion into a thin sheet, about 1/8 inch thick.

            Cut the rolled-out dough into small squares or desired shapes (about 2x2 inches). Place them on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they’re spaced apart.

              Brush the tops lightly with olive oil, then sprinkle a pinch of salt or additional seasonings if desired.

                Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown and the crackers become crisp.

                  Remove from the oven and allow to cool on a wire rack. They will continue to crisp as they cool.

                    Serve with pizza sauce for dipping or enjoy them plain as a crunchy snack!
