Raincoast Crackers
3 cups spelt flour
1 cup sesame seeds
1/2 cup honey
1 cup flax seeds
1 1/4 cups chopped pecans
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp sea salt
1 3/4 dried cranberries
1 3/4 cups pumpkin seeds
2 1/2 cups buttermilk
Mix dry ingredients, honey and buttermilk.
In 2 greased loaf pans pour equal amounts of mixture.
Bake at 350 for 40-50 minutes (until baked, not crispy). *Note: it barely rises.
Freeze (it is much easier to cut thin when frozen). When frozen, cut into THIN slices (usually 24 slices per loaf) and re-bake at 225-250 for 40-50 minutes.
Delicious!!
