Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
• 0.5 cups Oat flour
• 2 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 0.75 cups Warm water
• 2 tablespoons Extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, oat flour, instant yeast, and salt. Mix well.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whisk together warm water, extra-virgin olive oil, and honey until honey is dissolved.

Step 3

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour the wet ingredients into the well and stir until a dough forms.

Step 4

Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Step 5

Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly oiled bowl. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm place for 45 minutes or until doubled in size.

Step 6

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 7

Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently to release the air. Divide it into 8 equal portions.

Step 8

Roll each portion into a long rope, about 1/2 inch thick. Then, cut each rope in half to create around 16 sticks.

Step 9

Place the sticks on the prepared baking sheet. Brush them lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder, ground flaxseed, and chopped parsley.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 11

Let the crazy bread cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm as a heart-healthy snack or side dish.
