SESAME, SUNFLOWER AND FLAX CRACKERS

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees
• 2. In a food processor or coffee mill, grind sunflower seed (and flaxseed) to a fine meal. )You can opt to use 1 cup of sunflower seeds and omit the flax, however, the flax is full of Omega 3 essential fatty acids). If you are using salted sunflower seeds, you may want to decrease your salt.
• 3. Add the sesame seeds and salt, and pulse the food processor just long enough to combine, or mix by hand. You want the sesame seeds to stay whole. Add the water and pulse to make into a dough or mix by hand.
• 4. Cover a cookie sheet with a piece of parchment paper. Turn the dough out onto the parchment paper, tear off another sheet of parchment paper and place on top of dough.
• 5. Through the top sheet, use your hands to press the dough into as thin and even a sheet as you can. You can also use a rolling pin. Take the time to get the dough quite thin, the thinner, the better, so long as there are no holes in the dough. Peel off the top parchment paper and use a thin, sharp, straight-bladed knife or a pizza cutter to score the dough into squares or diamonds. If you prefer, sprinkle a bit of sea salt over the surface and gently press it into the dough BEFORE scoring the crackers.
• 6. Bake for about 30 minutes, or until crackers are a light, golden brown color. Remove from oven, carefully peel off parchment paper, break along the scored lines, and let the crackers cool. Store in a tightly closed container.
• Yield: About 6 dozen small crackers, each with 1 gram of carbohydrates, and about 0.5 grams of fiber. For a variation---add ½ cup reduced fat grated parmesan cheese in place of the sesame seeds in step 3---follow steps 4 through 6 Try adding your own spices in with the recipe too. Be careful when adding cinnamon & sugar or garlic powder to the top...it burns easily in the oven. If you do choose to sprinkle on on top...Add it to the last 5 minutes of baking, or so.

SESAME FLAXSEED CRACKERS

Steps:

• Mix ingredients together in medium bowl until a rough ball is formed.
• Knead for 5 minutes or until all ingredients are well incorporated and dough can be formed into a smooth ball.
• Allow to rest for 20 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 350.
• Prepare two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
• Divide dough into 2 pieces and, using a lightly oiled rolling pin, roll each piece out to fit cookie sheet.
• Place dough on pan and slice into cracker-sized pieces.
• Bake for 20 minutes, rotating halfway through cooking. Crackers should be golden brown, and will become crisp as they cool.

3-INGREDIENT SEEDED CRACKERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F. Pulse flour and 1 tsp. salt in a food processor to combine. Stir oil, honey, and 2/3 cup water in a liquid measuring cup. With motor running, add oil mixture to dry ingredients and continue to pulse until a ball of dough forms around blade.
• Turn dough out onto a work surface. Divide in half. Cover one half with a moistened towel, then roll remaining half into a rough 15x10" rectangle. Repeat with second half. Transfer each to a large parchment-lined baking sheet. Using a pizza cutter or sharp paring knife, trim ragged edges. Cut each rectangle into 24 (6x4") pieces.
• Fill a spray bottle with water and mist top of dough (or use a pastry brush to brush water on dough). Sprinkle with seeds and more salt. With your hands, press down lightly on dough to adhere seeds.
• Bake crackers, rotating sheets halfway through and checking for doneness frequently toward end of baking time (they can quickly brown), until slightly brown and crunchy, 15-18 minutes. Let cool (they'll crisp up) before serving.
