Flat Bread Sampler
When eating a raw food diet, it’s always a good idea to have a selection of flat breads handy. They are fairly quick to make (other than the dehydration time), nutritious, and can be used for many things. Throw some veggies on one for a quick lunch, spread some cashew vegan cheese on another for a quick snack, and use them with raw dips for a quick, fresh treat. They are versatile! On this plate are Onion Sunflower Flat bread, Flax Wheat Berry Flat bread and Spicy Flax Flat bread.

I love the recipes your posting , am still in the transition period between being vegetarian to becoming vegan simply coz most of the yummy vegan recipe has ingredient that are not available where I live , such as the (Nama shoyu) !!! I have no idea what it is and what’s its function in the flat bread yummy recipe that you posted .
(wheat berries ) is it what is referred to some times as bulgur only sprouted – this is important for me to know coz you use it in a cheese recipe (reju… Sorry forget the spelling of this type of chase making ) that looks super super yummy ?
And lastly , for the flat bread if I have powered hemp seed will it work instead of the seed?
I know it’s too many question ,? and thank you in advance for helping me to understand

Would it be possible to add other vegetables in the sunflower flatbread instead of onion? I have made it and love it, but want some more variety to my breads I’ve been making with the ingredients I already have on hand

Can I use parchment paper instead of the telflexx sheets ?

Yes but it is more difficult to work with. 🙂

I just got my dehydrator! I am so very excited to begin my raw food making, but I am also a bit nervous. The first thing I want to make are flax crackers, since I have a lot of flax, and I have always wanted to make my own raw crackers, rather then buying them for way too much at a store. Anyway I am going to begin with your recipe! Thank you for your blog, and wish me luck.
All the best.

The above recipe was written over 2 years ago. Either will work but the shorter time is what I use now. I did update a few recipes in the book. Honestly, soaking time for the flax isn’t a huge deal.

Susan,
Regarding the spicy flax crackers I notices the recipe in your book calls for less soaking time than the one on the website, so I am a bit confused as to which one is better… thx

Love your website. I am new to raw food and am having fun trying your recipes. Where do I get sprouted wheat berries? Can I buy them at the local market?
Susan wrote on March 9, 2011
You need to sprout your own. Just take the wheat grain, soak for 24 hours, then rinse 3 times a day. They sprout very quickly.

All your recipes look great! Is there any other option besides a dehydrator though?
Susan wrote on January 15, 2011
If you want to keep the food “raw” you need something that will “cook” at a temperature that will keep the food temp under 116. Most ovens can’t do that. The dehydrator can.

Susan, I love your recipes, so pretty to look at to! If I’m allergic to flax, what can I use instead (to make crackers)?
Thanks,
Amelia

You could try chia seeds but I haven’t made this recipe with them.
