Tomorrow my little boy and I will be hopping on a transatlantic plane on our way to Bilbao. We will be gone for two weeks, visiting family and friends.. eating, walking, conversing, playing and enjoying life. But before we leave, here is this month's Daring Bakers challenge. Challenge, it was. I decided to go ahead with the gluten free recipe and it took three attempts to get it right, but the end result was fantastic.
Although we had the option of taking a savory route, I decided to stick to my sweet side and sprinkled my crackers with cinnamon sugar. I also made a pear, fig and vanilla bean jelly to go with it and a baked pear custard to dip the crackers into. 
For the recipes, please visit my friend Jill's blog where I post all my gluten free recipes. And a big thank you to Sheltie Girl of Gluten A Go Go and Shel of Musings from the Fishbowl for hosting this month's challenge and to see what other Daring Bakers' interpretations, please go here.
Laster arte and in the meantime, cook and eat well! See you soon!

I love the hollowed eggs. My mother used to wash out egg shells and fill them with confetti. We'd use them at carnivals and the Independence Day.
Beautiful photos as well.

The jelly sounds wonderful and I like it that you did a sweet version of lavash!
Felices vacaciones en tu tierra!
Un besazo
My mom has celiac and would very much appreciate your efforts :). Yum!
Some very lovely ideas there, Aran! Great pictures too. I thought about doing a cinnamon sugar topping too, but my crackers turned out to have a very bready flavour to them, maybe because of the yeast, and I decided to stick to savoury instead.
Hope you're having a fantastic holiday! :)
Oh my gosh! I just found your blog, and I am loving everything you have posted here! All of the recipes and pictures look soooo great!
lovely photos and it sounds so delicius!
Looks delicious and I love the idea of the dips!
Oooh, you are so creative. I just love what you do with any food you make. Simply stunning to behold. I'm sure they are just as fantastic to eat. Have fun on your trip!
Hooray for sticking with sweet side of things!! Now I'm wishing that I had found some time to make these before I went for vacation..but it really wasn't meant to be!! Enjoy your time in Bilbao. I'm sure both of you will have tons of fun together!! Eat well!!
What a beautiful assortment of pictures!

Those have to be the most beautifully presented crackers I've ever seen. Very nice work!
my word, I believe you when you say fantastic - it looks it! enjoy your trip, and safe travels.
I hope you have a great time on your trip! I've been to Bilbao, once, specially to go to the Guggenheim, which I loved. I thought it was an utterly charming city. As always, your photographs are crazy beautiful!
Oh, your crackers look like ones I couldn't take my hands off of! Have a pleasant trip!
absolutely beautiful.
