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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C), and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, tapioca flour, nutritional yeast, salt, baking soda, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir until well mixed.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Divide the dough into 8 equal parts. Roll each piece into a ball and then flatten it into a disk using your hands.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Sprinkle sesame seeds evenly over each disk, pressing them lightly into the dough to adhere.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until firm and golden brown.

Step 9

Allow the kaak to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving warm.
