erb Crackers

ok these herb crackers are so easy and yet make you look like master of your pantry :)
so bits and pieces that taste nice in these are as follows using dried herbs and spice about a good full teaspoon should be about right depending on how plain or herby you want them
- cumin
- fennel seeds
- nigella
- rosemary
- thyme
- paprika
- allspice
- a decent sprinkle of salt and
pepper


then a mixture of seeds
- pumpkin seeds
- sesame seeds
- sunflower seeds
- Ground flax/linseeds ( these are important to bind the mixture )
- then a cup or two of wholemeal flour
- a few tablespoons of olive or avocado oil
mix this together until it is well blended indulge for a second in the smell of your hands if you are using them to mix, YUm
then add enough warm water slowly slowly until you have a somewhat solid ball of herby-flour then oil your rolling pin to press out the mixture onto a flat baking tray,
(use wine bottle if you do not have a rolling pin or if you have no wine bottle you can always just flatten it out with your hands)
it should be about 2-5 millimeters thick or less, the thicker it is the less it brakes when you dip it in your dips and business
bake it in the oven for about ten- fifteen minutes but keep an eye on it, meant to be slightly underdone and then left inside the oven after it has been turned off for a further twenty minutes to dry it out (I am notoriously bad at watching things in the oven and mine always come out too browned around the edges, but still good I say) ...
then when your ready just brake it up into the sized pieces you desire and store it, or into a bowl to serve it, goes best with freshly prepared hummus or sharp cheeses...
YUM
