Flax Crax!

Basics:

Soak raw flax seeds in a bowl of filtered water.
You want to cover them completely with water, so that there is extra water (about a half inch) above the flax line.

The flax seeds will absorb the water slowly over about an hour.
It will turn into a sticky, gooey, seeded blob.
[Here is where you will add any spices to the mix. Suggestions below.]

Spread a thin layer over a dehydrator sheet. (you must own a dehydrator to understand this...).
Put it in the dehydrator, turn it on to about 80 degrees (or a 1/4th of the way on).
Leave it in for about 6 hours (or overnight). Then flip, removing the sheet, and dehydrating for another 5ish hours.

NO DEHYDRATOR?

If you don't have a dehydrator, you can spread it over some wax paper on a cookie sheet, draw lines where you want breaks (to form smaller pieces, as opposed to one giant flax cracker) & then put it in your oven on warm, leaving the oven door cracked slightly.
In about 6 hours the top side should be dry.
Take it out and flip it onto the other side, removing the wax paper.

A few "use your brain"ers:
+ all ovens are different. Check on your crackers a few times throughout the first dehydrating session. Some may need to be flipped WAY earlier, some flipped hours later.
+ use an oven mitt if the tray feels hot. It shouldn't be hot enough to burn you; if it is, you probably have your oven too high. But just in case it is too high: use an oven mitt.

Alright: )
That's the basics! It's pretty simple once you do it a couple times to get the hang of it.

SPICES?
