This recipe is for gluten-free and low-carb flax crackers. They are also free from lactose, so you may be wondering if there are any ingredients at all. Yes: ground flax seed, ground almonds, egg, rosemary, salt, water. The difficulty with crackers is how to spread the dough, so read on for a solution.<\/p>\n

Add some ground flax seed (I was aiming for 35 grams) and some ground almonds (about 30 grams). The exact amount does not really matter, I usually just eyeball the ingredients.<\/p>\n

\"crackers_2a\"<\/p>\n

\"crackers_2b\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Add an egg or some protein powder (I tend to use powder because it allows for easier mixing).<\/p>\n

\"crackers_2c\"<\/p>\n

Add some salt and a healthy dose of rosemary.<\/p>\n

\"crackers_2d\"<\/p>\n

Add some water until the dough is soft and sticky and you think you will never get it flat without coating half your kitchen tools with it.<\/p>\n

Place a piece of baking paper on a tray and add the delicious-looking cement.<\/p>\n

\"crackers_3a\"<\/p>\n

Now the trick is to place a second piece of baking paper right on top of the dough.<\/p>\n

\"crackers_3a\"<\/p>\n

Use a smaller second tray to flatten the dough.<\/p>\n

\"crackers_4\"<\/p>\n

Add a few grooves for easier breaking into pieces, unless you like irregular shapes for your crackers. Do not remove the upper baking paper yet.<\/p>\n

\"crackers_5\"<\/p>\n

Put it in the oven for about 5 minutes at about 175\u00b0C (the hotter the better), then remove the baking paper.<\/p>\n

\"crackers_6\"<\/p>\n

Leave in the oven for another ~20 minutes until it looks somewhat brownish. Since there is very little in the dough that can caramelise, it does not get brown without acquiring a slightly burnt taste. This one was in the oven for slightly too long:<\/p>\n

\"crackers_7\"<\/p>\n

Remove from oven and smash into pieces.<\/p>\n

\"crackers_8\" \"crackers_9\"<\/p>\n

Enjoy with cheese (of course) or chorizo if lactose-intolerant.<\/p>\n

\"crackers_10\"<\/p>\n
