Homemade Almond Flax Toast

Have you ever tried making your own bread or crackers? It's actually really easy! There are definitely healthy bread options in the stores these days, of which, I'd suggest the following:
Foodforlife Ezekiel bread - sprouted grains, high in protein, high in fiber, not suitable for GF folks
KNOW foods - Paleo bread, GF, Grain Free, high in protein, very low in carbs, not suitable for Vegan/Plant Based (uses egg whites)
Barely Bread - Paleo, GF, very low in carbs (1 net), low in sodium, yeast and soy free, not suitable for Vegan/Plant Based (uses egg whites), also very expensive

However, because I enjoy creating my own nourishments from scratch, catering to a plant-based lifestyle (and reducing costs of high-priced store bought breads), I have started to make my own take on a quick (Gluten Free, Grain Free, Paleo, Keto, Plant Based, Vegan) "bread." This is more of a blend between a thin flatbread and a large cracker, but either way, it's absolutely DELICIOUS, both crisp & moist, and suitable as toast or just dipping and snacking! Plus it only takes a few minutes, so you can whip it up anytime :)



Servings: 1 Full Slice (adjust proportions for more slices)
Total Time: 15 minutes
• 1/3 cup almond flour (I use @bobredmills)
• 1/4 cup flax meal (I use @bobredmills)
• 1 1/2 TBSP avocado or olive oil (I use @chosenfoods Avocado Oil)
• Sea Salt to taste (I use pink himalayan sea salt)
• Dash of baking soda (I use @bobredmills)
• Appx. 1/4 Cup water

• OPTIONAL: Nutritional Yeast (gives it more of a savory flavor)

1) Add flour, flax meal, and sea salt to a large bowl and mix together.

2) Add oil and gradually add water, mixing until all dry ingredients are combined and the consistency is dough-like. Err on the side of a more wet than dry consistency, because if it's too dry, it may fall apart when baked. The water + flax create a binding agent that will help in keeping the flatbread unified. As there are no eggs involved, feel free to taste test to ensure you have enough seasoning.

3) Spread the dough in a rectangle shape on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 10-12 minutes at 350 degrees. The "bread" should be crisp and browned along the edges.

4) Eat as a cracker, or top with mashed avocado, nut butter, jam, hummus, etc!

**Note: you will have to test it out, sometimes the crisp may be more durable than other times. Either way, the taste is really great, so have fun with it! :)
