Those things can happen, even to the best of us… Anyway, I’m sure your crackers tasted great! I love your dip! I made a very similar one…

Cheers,

Rosa

The nice thing about the challenge was you could make it more than once. So if there was one disaster, all was not lost.

They don’t look burned to me, and that dip looks fantastic!

My… if yours are burned, mine were too! (And I didn’t notice hehe). Guess we’re from the same roasted bell pepper planet, I used the same dipper device to dress my lavash!

Awwh they’re not burnt - there toasted.

I actually liked the browner bits better. And your dip sounds like the perfect accompanyment!

oh, I am going to try that dip this afternoon! Thanks!

Camouflage - that sounds like something I do every day when I stand in front of the mirror with a make up sponge in hand! Your dip sounds delish!

I love the lavander idea! I’m sorry about the well-done version, but I’m so happy you found agave syrup!

Haha, love the comparison to the film “Stranger Than Fiction” - very clever!! But hey, toasty crackers ALWAYS taste better than “barely baked” ones, so I think your crackers turned out perfectly!! And I LOOOOVE that roasted red pepper & garlic dip - YUM!!!

Love the lavendar crackers!! And what about that bell pepper dip? Simply super. Who says the crackers are burnt? Maybe they are just a tad on the dark side - like I am!! LOL

What fun flavor choices! Great job, even if the savory ones crisped a bit too much for your liking.

so sad Glad the dip was good!!

Burnt, smurnt…just extra crispy! At least you got it in! more than I can say….:(

I love Agave syrup. Didnt use it this time but the stuff is great. Mt crackers over cooked in some parts too. I love the lavender, and other variations. And the dip sounds great.

Oh no. Don’t worry, you aren’t alone. I burnt half of mine as well. But I must say, the sweet lavender ones look to die for!

Oh goodness me, that dip sounds perfectly tasty. I think all the crackers look great, beautiful job!

I think there is a fine line with these crackers- they are either not done enough or overdone. I would choose overdone! They are better crispy!

I bet they tasted fantastic!

Just wondering… Does anyone know if Agave syrup could be substituted for corn syrup in recipes? I loathe corn syrup.

The red pepper dip is yummy, but I am such a savage that I substitute fresh garlic for roasted garlic. When it comes to garlic, I am not interested is sweet and mellow!

They look so crisp! YUM and roasted red pepper dip, double yum. I have some lavender simple syrup in the frig, one of these days.

Hello Helllooooo dear Ivonne!
I cooked my first challenge and I’m very happy to be a daring bakers….It’s very amusing!
I’m sure that your crackers are very good with this wonderfull dip…I love above all the lavander one…delicious, simply delicious!
Many kisses
Ago

hi there, yours is the first other challenge i’m reading about! great stuff, it hardly looks burnt, mine were even more burnt looking. i’m comforted that even a pro like you had the same experience with the initial worry of the dough not proofing etc!!!

Beautifully done. Sorry about the burned ones. I like the storied commentary about your battle with the crackers, very creative.

My son and I are big fans of agave syrup \
he calls it cactus honey
We both like how it works in tea, especially mint

Fantastici con la lavanda, non ci avrei mai pensato, bravissima! Elga

And then she blogged about it, and heard back from the baking community, and snacked on her crackers.

I had been looking for a reason to use my agave syrup, personally, but hadn’t thought of using it the way you did. Yum.

Your crackers look great and not much burned. I bet they tasted delicious with your pepper and garlic dip!

Your story seems to be exactly like many other DBers this month. I’m having fun reading through the posts and collecting great recipes for dips and spreads.

Loved the topping on the crackers and isn’t agave syrup the best???

Aw! Burning them a little just makes them more crunchy! I think they all look great. The ones with lavender are adorable! And, that dip looks divine!

Sorry the crackers burned, but the lavender ones look amazing! Have not tried agave syrup but it looks yum!

Wow Ivonne! That is such a fun read! . . . a violent battle otherwise known as kneading . . . that’s great!
I really do admire our alternative bakers, I think of them as rather double daring.
Love that dip.

You’re too funny! Lavander is such a sweet idea. Don’t say you burn them, say they’re caramelized lavash!

Awww, so sorry you burnt the crackers, but the lavender ones look pretty good. The pepper and garlic topping sounds delicious!

Leave it to you to find the happy ending in a story Ivonne! I love your creativity even in times of crisis!

Hee–my rectangle was pretty much as oddly shaped as yours

j

Oh Ivonne- it only takes a moment doesn’t it?
I’ve been there with ya…
I do think they’re pretty anyway and I looove the lavender ones and your dip!
xo

Burnt or not, they look delicious and I love the looks of that dip! I made a kalamata olive hummus to go with mine.

Those don’t look burned at all, they look great!

Burnt or not they look great! The lavender was a really interesting idea.

Extra-toasty or not, they still look great… and the dip looks amazing!

It’s all in how you say it….
Burnt Crackers
or
Caramelized Crackers!!!
They look fantastic!!!!
Lavender and Agave, way yum!!!!!!!!

Thanks for sharing your, um, toasty crackers. It makes me feel better about some of the DB disasters I’ve posted. (Last month I was too embarrassed!) Everything looks wonderful, and I’m lusting the roasted red pepper dip!

I think they look fantastic! Love the combination of flavors for both the sweet and the savory

Wonderful that we had a “alt” challenge

It was fun to have a gf challenge and to keep the dips/spreads vegan was another challenge but I loved all the steps.
The lavender is a great idea on the crackers. I’d eat your burnt one…only because it’s you…ok…and because I like crusty things!

Lesson learned : roasted pepper and garlic dip makes everything taste better.
Thanks for the fun read!

That’s some story. But it has a happy ending, and they ate happily ever after.:)
So all’s well that ends well.

Bummer about the burnt crackers. But you had some great ones turn out as well.
6 days!

You manage to make burnt crackers look delicious
Love the flavours you used!

They are not all burnt. Actually, they all look pretty tasty to me.

I almost burnt mine too! LOL! That was because I was chatting on the phone!! But I like those lavender crackers. Nice one!

Oh jeez, I’m not a DB but just by fluke I decided to post about Lavash on Monday as well!! Don’t feel bad about burning it - I made 4 ’rounds’ (not round at all, I use the term loosely) and the first one, of course, was charred to high heaven.

BUT I bet they tasted delicious, and that DIP. Oh, that dip.

Pity about the burnt crackers (I’m sure all of us have done that before!), but those lavender ones look lovely!

Whoops! Still, the lavash are so thin that they’re really easy to burn… The lavender crackers with the agave nectar look amazing!

Ah, we made the same dip. I love hummus, but roasted garlic and red pepper hummus–delicioso!
