Sesame Sunflower Seed Grain Free Crackers
** Recipe from Health, Home and Happiness **
* 1 c. unsalted sunflower seeds, hulled (could use pumpkin seeds!)
* 1 tsp. sea salt (the coarse kind is fine)
* 3 cloves of garlic, peeled
* 1 c. sesame seeds, hulled
* up to 1/4 c. water
Heat oven to 350. In bowl of a food processor, using regular metal blade, combine sunflower seeds, salt, and garlic. Turn food processor on and let it whir for 2-3 min, until seeds have turned into a dense flour. Add in sesame seeds and pulse to mix (sesame seeds don’t need to mix all the way in). Slowly add in water, a couple Tbl. at a time, until seeds all clump together in a ball. Remove and knead to distribute sesame seeds through sunflower seed mixture. Mixture isn’t a very pretty color at this point, but it improves beautifully with baking. Between parchment paper, roll dough out until very thin for crisper crackers, or up to 1/4" thick for more sturdy crackers, in as close to a rectangle shape as possible. Using parchment paper, flip the whole rectangle of dough onto a cookie sheet, keep crackers on a layer of parchment paper to bake for easy removal. Cut into rectangles with a pizza cutter or sharp knife. We’ll use cut lines to break crackers on after they’re cooked. Bake 15-20 min, or until golden brown. Allow to cool while still on cookie sheet, then break along scored lines and serve.
