Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Tapioca flour
- 0.5 cup Nutritional yeast
- 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseeds
- 1.25 cups Warm water
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.25 cup Sesame seeds
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C), and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, mix the ground flaxseeds with 1/4 cup of warm water. Stir well and let it sit for about 5 minutes to thicken.
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, tapioca flour, nutritional yeast, salt, baking soda, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir until well mixed.
Add the flaxseed mixture and olive oil to the dry ingredients and gradually pour in the remaining 1 cup of warm water. Mix until a dough forms. The dough should be sticky but workable.
Divide the dough into 8 equal parts. Roll each piece into a ball and then flatten it into a disk using your hands.
Place the disks on the prepared baking sheet. Use a fork to prick holes throughout each disk to prevent them from puffing up too much.
Sprinkle sesame seeds evenly over each disk, pressing them lightly into the dough to adhere.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until firm and golden brown.
Allow the kaak to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving warm.
