Instructions

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease it lightly.

In a food processor, combine the cooked brown rice, cooked quinoa, ground flax seeds, tahini, water, minced garlic, dill, onion, and salt. Blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
3
Fold in the whole flax seeds and sesame seeds gently until evenly distributed.
4
Transfer the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Use damp hands or a rolling pin to flatten the mixture to about 1/8 inch thickness.

For flatbread, cut the dough into 3x3 inch squares using a pizza cutter. For crackers, feel free to cut them into any shapes or sizes you desire.

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake flatbread for 35 minutes or crackers for 45-50 minutes, until golden brown and firm to the touch. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.

Once baked, cool the bread or crackers on the baking sheet for 15 minutes. Use a spatula to carefully remove them from the pan or break apart the crackers.
