Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
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.
In a medium bowl, combine the buckwheat flour, sesame seeds, chia seeds, salt, garlic powder, herbs de Provence, and baking powder.
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.
Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll it out to about 1/8 inch thickness.
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.
Transfer the bottom sheet of parchment with the cut dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the crackers are crisp.
Allow the crackers to cool completely on a wire rack. They will continue to crisp up as they cool.
Store the cooled crackers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
