Flax Wrap

[MustLose80]

There are so many hidden/old recipes here and so many talented people with years of experience that I am often not sure if I should post silly discoveries, but here is one I did the other night.

I was making the flax cracker for th first time. I didn't measure, but did what I read on here

Put some ground flax in a bowl, added water until it was as runny as a thin pancake batter. I also added some garlic powder, celery seed and black pepper. I cut a piece of parchment the exact size of the turntable in my microwave and spread the mixture over it thinly. It was the perfect amount of mixture, strangely enough.

The recipe I read on here said to microwave for 3 minutes until crisp, but mine took 18 minutes until crsip...so don't get discouraged ladies, I have found I have to tweak a lot of things to get them to work for me. Ovens vary so much and when not measuring, who knows what differences there will be.

I checked this after every 3 minutes because I refused to ruin yet another dish foreign to me. In the middle of cooking I picked up the paper and felt the top of the flax batter...it was a perfectly soft, very slightly puffy large round of bread/wrap I had there. It could have easily been rolled. In fact, I rolled it (the paper) up some to see and it didn't crack at all, or tear. At that point I put some large Kosher salt flakes on it. Then I layed it out flat again and microwaved until crisp.

As a cracker it was perfect. Very light and crisp, exactly like Wasa only thinner. I ate it with a tuna salad and olives. As light as it was, it held the salad well, but it did break if I dipped. I am going to try to make these uniformly by using a large flat decorating bag and tip. I think it will work and I can make a lot ahead. Yummy Also I am going to remake and use as a wrap. I hope it wasn't a fluk. I really think I can duplicate it well.

If anyone tries this, let me know how it goes.

What a fantastic idea! Keep us posted on how your later attempt goes!


I particularly love microwave recipes as they give me no excuse whatsoever not to cook something healthy.

I tried to make the wrap. I'm not sure if I spread the mixture too thin or cooked it too long. I think it was a little bit of both. I cooked it for about 4-5 minutes. I was able to break it up into little crackers and they were very good with grilled chicken and other toppings -- sort of like chicken nachos.

I'll definately try again.

Tried a second time!! It turned out PERFECT! I didn't spread it as thin, and cooked it for about 3 minutes. Wonderful.

I haven't tried the wrap yet. I am still at school, having just finished my last class, etc...YIPPIE!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyway, I was going to go home and try it. I am so glad it worked for you. Considering my microwave severely burns melting cheese, so making those taco shells and cheese crackers in nearly impossible (1 minute, black in the center and too soft on the outside), I don't understand why it takes so dang long to make the flax wrap and crackers.

Now i cannot wait to go home and try the wrap in a few minutes.
