• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1/2 cup water

Directions

1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Step 2: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, and black pepper.
3. Step 3: Add the vegetable oil and water to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms.
4. Step 4: Divide the dough into two equal portions. Roll out each portion on a lightly floured surface until it is about 1/8 inch thick.
5. Step 5: Using a knife or a pizza cutter, cut the dough into small squares or rectangles. You can also use cookie cutters to make fun shapes.
6. Step 6: Transfer the cut dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Make sure to leave some space between each piece to allow them to crisp up.
7. Step 7: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crunches are golden brown and crispy.
8. Step 8: Remove from the oven and let the crunches cool completely on a wire rack. They will continue to crisp up as they cool.
9. Step 9: Store the crunches in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. Enjoy them as a snack or serve them with your favorite dip!
