Seed Crispbread Recipe

Easy
For those of us who stick to a no-gluten way of eating, having a recipe for a crispbread that isn’t hard to make is really useful. This easy crispbread is full of seed goodness, too. My mother-in-law Eva kindly shared her recipe for this crispbread and we have since adapted it with extra seeds and buckwheat flour. If you don’t worry about the gluten, you can use plain/all-purpose flour instead of the naturally gluten-free buckwheat flour (in this case, you can also omit the xanthan gum).

How to make Seed Crispbread
- Preheat the oven to 150°C (300°F) Gas 2.
- Combine all the ingredients in a bowl and stir. You will have a jelly-like consistency mixture, not a dough.
- Place half the mixture on one sheet of baking parchment. Place another sheet of baking parchment on top and roll out as evenly and thinly as possible. Carefully remove the parchment. The mixture will remain sticky.
- Repeat on the second baking sheet. Sprinkle a little extra salt to the top of each and place in the oven.
- Bake for 50–60 minutes until crispy and completely baked through.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before breaking into large pieces. Store in an airtight container.
