Ingredients

Crackers

  • 1 1/2 Cups Hot Tap Water
  • 3/4 Cup Melted Coconut Oil
  • 1 Tbsp Real Salt
  • 1 tsp Onion Powder
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 6 Cups Organic Whole Grain Einkorn Flour
  • 2 Cups Sourdough Start
  • 1 Cup Grated Cheddar Cheese (Optional)

Pesto

  • 1 Cup Fresh Basil Slightly Packed *See Notes
  • 1/4 Cup Avocado Oil
  • 2 Small Cloves Garlic or 1 Large Clove Garlic
  • 1/4 Cup Pine Nuts or Sunflower Seeds
  • 1/4 tsp Real Salt
  • 1/2 Cup Parmesan Cheese

Instructions

Crackers

  • To get coarse flour, blend 6 cups of einkorn berries in a blender (Blend 2-3 cups at a time for 60-90 seconds)
  • Thoroughly mix first five ingredients and 4 cups of flour.
  • Add sourdough start and mix.
  • Add remaining flour until right consistency. It should be one mass pulled completely away from sides of bowl and should not be sticky.
  • Let rest in warm place for 4-6 hours.
  • Roll out dough as thin as possible. Cut into a few large rectangles. (For cheese cracker variation, knead graded cheese into the dough before rolling out.)
  • Place 1-2 rectangles on hot griddle at a time. Once you’ve laid one down, salt the side that’s facing up.

  • When it’s starting to bubble slightly and is ready to flip, fork the whole thing thoroughly.
    Fork thoroughly before turning
  • Flip over and, while still on griddle, cut into little squares with a pizza cutter.
    Cut into little squares after turning
  • Once both sides have browned a little, place on cookie rack to cool. (See above picture for example of correct coloring).
  • Let cool completely before serving or storing in airtight container.

Pesto

  • Blend all ingredients in food processor or blender until desired consistency.

Notes

*In place of 1 Cup Fresh Basil you can use 1 Cup Spinach and 3 drops Basil Essential Oil
These are crackers. If they are not cooked long enough or not allowed to cool long enough, they will be chewy instead of crunchy.
