SEEDED CRACKERS

makes 1 tray

So, this is a kind of crackers recipe every woman needs in her arsenal (unless of course she couldn’t be bothered cooking which is also fine, but since you are reading this recipe book – that’s not the case maybe). It’s the kind of recipe where 10 minutes of your time and a small handful of ingredients result in a tray full of delightful crunchy crackers. Amazing source of fibre and protein too (therefore very gut friendly).

Ingredients:

• 200g mixed seeds (pumpkin, sunflower, sesame, linseed)
• 50g linseeds/flaxseeds
• 2 Tbsp black sesame (optional, I only use it for flavour)
• 2 Tbsp olive oil
• 150g boiling water
• pinch of black pepper
• generous pinch of sea salt

Method:

1. Bring all of the ingredients together in a bowl.
2. Once mixed, let it sit for 5-7 minutes so linseed can bind everything properly (it’ll become a bit sticky/slimy). After that just spread the mix on baking paper with a spatula or roll between sheets of paper.
3. Score the way you like and bake for 40 mins at 160C or until light golden brown and crunchy all the way through.
4. Comes without saying, opportunities for flavouring (pre baking) here are endless: you can add some grated cheese, or finely chopped rosemary, chilli pepper flakes, lemon zest, dried tomatoes, you get the idea.
