Why It Works
  • The combination of whole wheat flour, sesame seeds, and flaxseed creates a cracker that is both crispy and flavorful.
  • The touch of salt enhances the flavor of the crackers without making them too salty.
  • The olive oil helps to bind the ingredients together and gives the crackers a slightly golden brown color.
  • The crackers are baked at a relatively low temperature so that they can dry out without burning.
  • The parchment paper prevents the crackers from sticking to the baking sheet and makes them easy to remove.
