Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup buckwheat flour
- 2 tablespoons ground flaxseeds
- 5 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon dried herbs (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, combine the ground flaxseeds and water. Stir well and let sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes a gel-like consistency.
In a mixing bowl, combine the buckwheat flour, olive oil, salt, flaxseed mixture, and optional dried herbs. Stir until a dough forms; it should be firm but pliable.
Place the dough between two pieces of parchment paper and roll it out to a thickness of about 1/8 inch (3 mm).
Remove the top layer of parchment paper and use a pizza cutter or sharp knife to cut the dough into squares or your desired cracker shape.
Transfer the parchment paper with the cut dough onto the baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the crackers are golden brown and crisp. Watch carefully in the last few minutes to prevent burning.
Allow the crackers to cool completely on a wire rack before breaking into individual pieces. Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
