Ingredients

• 1 cup Whole wheat flour
• 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 tablespoons Water
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder (optional, for flavor)
• 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder (optional, for flavor)
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper (optional, for flavor)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour and ground flaxseed. Add garlic powder, onion powder, and ground black pepper if using, and mix well to distribute the seasonings.

Step 3

Drizzle the olive oil over the dry ingredients and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Add the water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together into a firm, non-sticky ball.

Step 5

On a lightly floured work surface, roll out the dough as thin as possible (about 1/16 inch) to ensure the crackers are crisp.

Step 6

Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut the dough into small squares or rectangles. Transfer the pieces to the prepared baking sheet, leaving a small amount of space between each cracker.

Step 7

Prick each cracker with a fork to prevent puffing during baking.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the crackers are golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning, especially toward the end of baking.

Step 9

Remove the crackers from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet. They will crisp up further as they cool.

Step 10

Store the crackers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
