Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup flax meal (120g)
  • 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup water (80ml)

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Rolling Pin
  • Knife or pizza cutter

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Preheat Your Oven
    Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your crackers will bake evenly and achieve the perfect crunch.
  2. Step 2: Combine Ingredients
    In a mixing bowl, combine the flax meal, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and water. Stir until all the ingredients are well incorporated. The mixture will begin to thicken as the flax absorbs the water.
  3. Step 3: Let It Rest
    Allow the mixture to sit for about 10-15 minutes. This resting period is crucial as it lets the flax seeds swell and bind the mixture, resulting in a better texture for your crackers.
  4. Step 4: Prepare for Baking
    Line your baking sheet with parchment paper. Transfer the cracker mixture onto the parchment, and using a rolling pin, roll it out into a thin, even layer, about 1/8 inch thick.
  5. Step 5: Cut into Shapes
    Using a knife or pizza cutter, score the rolled-out dough into your desired cracker shapes. This will make it easier to break apart after baking.
  6. Step 6: Bake the Crackers
    Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the crackers are firm to the touch. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning.
  7. Step 7: Cool and Enjoy
    Once baked, remove the crackers from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. After cooling, break them apart along the scored lines and enjoy your homemade Flaxseed Crackers!
