Recipe Essentials
Time: 1 hour 10 minutes
Yield: 24 to 30 small crackers
Ingredients
- 1 cup (150 grams) whole flax seeds
- 1 cup (214 grams) boiling water
- 2 cups (280 grams) mixed raw seeds (sunflower, pumpkin, hemp hearts)
- 4 tablespoons (50 grams) oil (extra-virgin olive or avocado oil)
- Flaky salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees with a rack in the center.
- In a medium bowl, combine flax seeds, boiling water, and a pinch of salt. Let it sit for 2 minutes until it becomes gloopy, then stir in your mixed seeds.
- Grease a large baking sheet and line it with parchment paper. Use 2 tablespoons of oil to coat the parchment surface.
- Spread the seed mixture evenly across the pan using an offset spatula for a thin, uniform layer.
- Top with the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil and a sprinkle of flaky salt. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until golden and dry. Tent with foil if the edges brown too fast.
- Reduce the oven to 350 degrees, rotate the pan, and bake for another 12 to 15 minutes until brittle.
- Cool completely before snapping the bark into individual crackers. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
