Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Ground flax seeds
• 0.5 cups Whole flax seeds
• 1.25 cups Water
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder (optional)
• 0.5 teaspoons Onion powder (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds (optional topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the ground flax seeds, whole flax seeds, and salt. If using garlic powder or onion powder, add those as well.

Step 3

Slowly pour in the water and stir until the mixture forms a thick, gel-like consistency. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes to fully hydrate.

Step 4

Place the mixture on the parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Using a spatula or your hands, spread it out evenly to form a thin layer, about 1/8-inch thick. Aim for uniformity to ensure even baking.

Step 5

If desired, sprinkle sesame seeds or other toppings onto the surface and gently press them into the mixture.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven, score the mixture into cracker-sized squares with a sharp knife or pizza cutter, and flip the entire sheet over.

Step 7

Return the tray to the oven and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the cracker bread is fully dry and crisp. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let the cracker bread cool completely on the tray. Once cooled, break it along the scored lines into pieces.

Step 9

Store the flax seed cracker bread in an airtight container for up to one week.
