This is a simple, delicious Flax Cracker recipe that's a great replacement for crackers/chips/bread. This recipe makes 4 trays of crackers for your dehydrator. Double this recipe if you have a 9-tray dehydrator, to make 8 sheets. We recommend an Excalibur Dehydrator, which has many advantages over standard dehydrators.

Start by measuring 1.25 cups of Golden Flax Seeds. Pour even amounts of the seeds into two separate jars, so you'll have two jars each with a little over half a cup of seeds. Add pure water to each jar (to about twice the level of the seeds) and soak the seeds for at least 4 hours (or overnight in the fridge).

After soaking, stir the seeds with a spoon to mix well with the water. Add more water if it's really thick. Pour one jar of seeds into your Vita-Mix or other high-powered blender (blending one jar at a time keeps your blender happy). Fill with water until at the 3-cup line in your blender container.

Add to this:

- 1 rounded TBS Tomato Concentrate
- 1/2 tsp (rounded) Cumin powder
- 1/4 tsp Cayenne pepper powder
- 1/4 tsp Sun Fire Salt

Blend from low to high, for a short period of time, just until the seeds are partially shredded and the mixture has a uniform color. Spoon half the mixture onto a teflex sheet on your dehydrator tray, and smooth it out with a spoon until it's covering almost the whole sheet and is of an equal thickness all over. Put into your dehydrator, and add the rest of the mixture to another sheet/tray.

Repeat this process with your other jar of seeds until you have 4 trays of batter. If you're doubling this recipe for your larger dehydrator, you'll have 4 jars of seeds, so repeat with each one until 8 sheets have been filled. Dehydrate at 145 degrees for only two hours to evaporate the water off, then turn it down to 110 and dehydrate until your desired consistency (shorter = moister/breadier, longer = crunchy/crispy).

After dehydrating for a while (10-12 hours), the surface of the crackers should look dry. Then it's time to remove them from the Teflex so the bottom can dry, as well. Flip over each sheet of batter onto the tray screen, then peel off the Teflex sheet. If some of the batter sticks to it, just scrape it off with a spoon and smooth it back onto the cracker sheet.

A while later, you'll have evenly crispy (or bready) crackers!

Once you get the hang of making crackers, this recipe is very quick and easy, and takes only minutes to prepare!
