Yield: 12 small crackers

Ingredients:

• ½ cup sunflower seeds
• ½ cup sesame seeds
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp onion powder
• ½ tsp pink salt
• 2 tbsps. of filtered water

Instructions:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Place the sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt in a high-powered blender or food processor and blend until the mixture takes on the consistency of flour.
• While the blender or food processor is running, drizzle in the water until the mixture takes on the consistency of dough and clumps together into a ball.
• Transfer the dough to a 14-inch-square piece of parchment paper and place an equal-size sheet on top of it. Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough as thin as you like (if it’s on the thicker side, say ¼ inch, the crackers will be much sturdier).
• Remove the top sheet of parchment paper and transfer the rolled dough, still on the bottom sheet of parchment, to a baking sheet. Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut the dough into rectangles, but do not separate the rectangles.
• Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool completely on the baking sheet.
• Break up the crackers into rectangles. Serve or store in the refrigerator for up to a week.
