Pulse twice to mix dry ingredients and break up lumps in almond flour. Add olive oil and 3 Tablespoons water. Turn on processor and allow to mix until dough forms a ball. If it doesn\u2019t roll into a ball, add only one more Tablespoon of water. Don\u2019t overdo it on adding water, or the cracker dough will become too moist.<br> \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Tear off two sheets of parchment paper that are the size of the baking sheet you plan to use in the oven. Form dough into a ball on top of one piece of parchment on the counter and allow to rest 10 minutes for flax seed meal to form its bonds. When ready, top with second parchment sheet and roll the dough until it\u2019s an evenly shaped oval or rectangle, less than \u00bc inch, about 1\/8 inch, thick. Remove top layer of parchment and slide onto the baking sheet. Using a knife or pizza cutter, score the dough into crackers, about 1\u00bd \u00a0inch square. It\u2019s likely they won\u2019t be perfect\u2014that\u2019s part of the charm of homemade crackers.<br> \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Bake at 350 degrees, turning once during baking, for 18-20 minutes until edges are browned and crackers are crisp. Allow to cool for 20 minutes on a baking sheet before eating. <br><br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Rissa Miller, Senior Editor Vegetarian Journal (Makes about 40 crackers) 2 cups almond flour 2 Tablespoons ground flaxseed meal \u00bd teaspoon salt \u00bd teaspoon ground black pepper (or to taste) 1 Tablespoon olive oil 3-4 Tablespoons water Parchment paper Preheat oven to 350 degrees. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 In a food processor or powerful blender, add almond [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15968","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vrg.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15968","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vrg.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vrg.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vrg.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vrg.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15968"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.vrg.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15968\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":15970,"href":"https:\/\/www.vrg.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15968\/revisions\/15970"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vrg.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15968"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vrg.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15968"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vrg.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15968"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
