Ingredients

• 1 cup Buckwheat flour
• 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
• 5 tablespoons Water
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds
• 1 tablespoon Chia seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Herbs de Provence
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the ground flaxseed with 5 tablespoons of water and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes gel-like.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, combine the buckwheat flour, sesame seeds, chia seeds, salt, garlic powder, herbs de Provence, and baking powder.

Step 4

Stir the flaxseed mixture and olive oil into the dry ingredients using a spoon or your hands until a dough forms. It should be slightly sticky but hold together. If it's too dry, add a bit more water, a teaspoon at a time.

Step 5

Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out to about 1/8 inch thickness.

Step 6

Remove the top sheet of parchment and use a knife or pizza cutter to cut the dough into 1-inch squares or your preferred size.

Step 7

Transfer the bottom sheet of parchment with the cut dough onto the prepared baking sheet.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the crackers are crisp.

Step 9

Allow the crackers to cool completely on a wire rack. They will continue to crisp up as they cool.

Step 10

Store the cooled crackers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
