Cuisine: Paleo Vegan
Serves: 12 crackers
Ingredients
- 1 cup ground flaxseed
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine ground flaxseed, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix the dry ingredients thoroughly to ensure even distribution of spices.
- Add water to the dry ingredients and stir until a thick, cohesive dough forms. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to allow the flaxseed to absorb the water and bind together.
- Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough out very thin, approximately 1/8 inch thick, creating an even rectangular shape.
- Remove the top parchment paper and sprinkle sesame seeds evenly across the surface of the rolled-out dough, gently pressing them into the surface.
- Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, carefully score the dough into rectangular cracker shapes, making approximately 12 even pieces.
- Transfer the parchment paper with the scored dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Ensure the crackers are not touching each other.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and crisp. Check periodically to prevent burning.
- Remove from the oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet. The crackers will continue to crisp up as they cool.
- Once cooled, break along the scored lines and store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Consistency is Key: When mixing the dough, ensure it's thoroughly combined but not too wet. The 5-minute resting period allows the flaxseed to absorb water and create the perfect texture.
- Roll Thin for Maximum Crispiness: The thinner you roll the dough (aim for 1/8 inch), the crunchier your crackers will be. Use parchment paper to make rolling easier and prevent sticking.
- Watch Carefully While Baking: Ovens can vary, so start checking your crackers around the 20-minute mark to prevent burning. The edges should be golden brown and crisp.
- Customize Your Flavor: Feel free to experiment with different spices like dried herbs, chili flakes, or everything bagel seasoning to make these crackers uniquely yours.
- Storage Matters: Keep your crackers in an airtight container to maintain their crispness. If they lose their crunch, a quick 5-minute refresh in the oven can bring them back to life!
