Roll the dough evenly to avoid burning some areas before others
Variations

For a sweeter version, mix in cinnamon and a drizzle of honey or maple syrup
Switch out seeds or try a mix with chopped nuts for added crunch

Can I use flour instead of cornstarch

Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Combine all dry ingredients in a large bowl.
- Add water to the dry ingredients and mix well. Let the mixture sit for 10-15 minutes to allow the chia and flax seeds to absorb liquid and thicken.
- Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Pour the seed mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it evenly into a thin layer using an offset spatula or the back of a spoon. Aim for a thickness of about 1/8 inch.
- Bake for 25 minutes, then remove from oven and score the crispbread into desired shapes (squares or rectangles). Return to the oven and bake for another 25-35 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Let the crispbread cool completely on the baking sheet before breaking it along the scored lines. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
