Tomato Crisp Bread

seed bread

1 batch

  • 1/4 cup sundried tomatoes
  • 1 cup sunflower seeds
  • 1 cup crushed flaxseeds
  • 2 tomatoes
  • 2 tbsp dried basil
  • 1 pinch of sea salt

Soak the sundried tomatoes in 1/2 cup of water overnight. Soak the sunflower seeds overnight in a separate bowl. The next day , preheat a dehydrator to 100 degrees 40C. Drain the sunflower seeds and put in a food processor. Add the sundried tomatoes and their water. Slice the fresh tomatoes, removing the core, then place in the food processor along with the flax seed, basil, and sea salt. Blend everything together until it is evenly mixed. You should be able to shape it. Add more water if it is too hard, and if it's too thin add more flax seeds. Spread the mixture on a medium baking sheet (or one of the trays included with your dehydrator) lined with parchment paper; spread it thin enough to cover the entire sheet. Bake in the dehydrator for 4-5 hours. Remove from the dehydrator and use a knife to carve into squares. Turn the squares upside down and return the sheet to the dehydrator. Bake it for an additional 4-5 hours. Let cool before serving. Store dry in a closed container.
