Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 cups flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 5 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, grated
- 1 1/4 cups Japanese sweet potato purée (about 290 g)
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted (for finishing)
- Optional seasonings (cinnamon sugar, sesame seeds, salt, etc.)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Roast whole Japanese sweet potatoes for about 90 minutes, or until very soft. Let cool, then scoop out and mash into a smooth purée.
- Lower oven temperature to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, combine flour and baking powder. Add melted butter, grated mozzarella, and sweet potato purée. Mix everything together by hand until a soft dough forms.
- Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface until thin (about ⅛ inch). Cut into desired shapes and transfer to a baking sheet. Poke a hole in each cracker with a fork or chopstick to release steam.
- Bake for 20 – 22 minutes, or until lightly golden and set.
