Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 cup wholemeal flour wheat or spelt, Notes 2. 3
  • 1⅓ cup rolled oats
  • ¾ cup sunflower seeds
  • cup sesame seeds
  • cup flaxseed
  • ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cups water

Instructions

  • Preheat the fan/ convection oven to 340°F/ 170°C. If using a regular oven, preheat it to 375°F/ 190°C, bake one tray at a time to ensure even crisping. Line the baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Dry ingredients: Mix all dry ingredients in a large bowl.
    1 cup wholemeal flour + 1⅓ cup rolled oats + ¾ cup sunflower seeds + ⅓ cup sesame seeds + ⅓ cup flaxseed + ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • Mix batter: Add oil and water and stir well with a spoon. The mixture will be quite wet; don't worry about it. Divide the mixture between the two prepared baking trays. Bake for 15 minutes first.
    2 tablespoons olive oil + 2 cups water
  • First bake: Spread the mixture evenly over the two lined baking sheets. Bake for 15 minutes.
  • Cut into pieces: Remove the baking sheets from the oven once the mixture has set. While still soft, cut the crispbread into slices of your preferred size - if you wait until it’s fully baked, it will be too hard to cut.
  • Second bake: Continue baking for another 40 to 45 minutes or until the crispbread is golden brown and crispy. Check after 40 minutes and don't overbake.
  • Let the crispbread cool completely, then break it along the pre-cut slices.

Notes

  1. If you have a convection oven (fan oven), you can bake both trays at the same time. In a standard oven, bake one tray at a time for even crisping.
  2. Measurements: I recommend using a digital kitchen scale to measure the ingredients; it's more precise, faster, and cleaner. 
  3. Flour: You will need wholemeal flour. You can use spelt or wheat, or a mixture of both. I use whatever I happen to have.
