Makes approx. 24

Takes 30 to 45 minutes 

Ingredient

• 65g rolled oats
• 65g spelt flour
• 1tbs sesame seed
• ½ tsp celery salt
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• 1 to 2 tbs fresh rosemary chopped finely
• 1 tbs olive oil
• 2 tablespoons apple sauce
• 60ml water plus more if necessary
• sea salt and black pepper

Method

Preheat your oven to 175 C 350F.

Place the oats into a food processor and blitz until almost fine.

Add in the spelt flour, garlic powder, celery salt and rosemary, blitz intermittently to combine everything.

Transfer the flour mixture into a large bowl.

Add the olive oil, apple sauce and water then mix until a soft dough forms. Add more water a teaspoon at time if needed.

Cut a piece of parchment paper to the size of two large baking trays.

Place half of the dough onto the sheet of parchment paper, then roll the dough out until it is approx. 2mm thick.

Using a knife, cut the dough into 12 squares, then score across the dough.

Sprinkle on sea salt and black pepper.

Repeat with the second ball of dough.

Place the parchment papers onto the baking sheets and bake the crackers until just barely brown, approx. 15 to 20 minutes.

Check after 10 minutes and thereafter every minute until the crackers turn golden brown. Keep turning the baking tray to ensure an even colour.

You might have to remove the outer crackers first as they often bake faster.

Allow the cooked crackers to cool.

Once cool break them apart.
