Health and fertility benefits of Flax Whole Wheat Crackers

Sesame seeds help with progesterone balance. Lignans found in in sesame seeds help to prevent excess estrogen production. Flaxseed can be used to combat PCOS as it helps decrease androgen levels. It contains lignans that increase the production of sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) that binds testosterone in the blood, thereby preventing it from wreaking havoc in the body. Being high in fiber, flaxseed helps slow down glucose metabolism and lower cholesterol levels. The omega-3 fatty acids in this flaxseed also reduce inflammation, lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of chronic diseases like heart disease.

Ingredients

2 tbsps milled flax seed
1 tsp yeast
1 oz sesame seeds
1 1/4 cups whole wheat flour
1 tsp salt
1 oz brown sugar

Instructions

1. Mix all ingredients together. Save some sesame seeds for topping.

2. After mixing all together cover with cloth and let dough rise for 1 hour. Turn oven on to 350 °F (175 °C).

3. Divide dough into 4 equal parts for easy handling. Make each part into a ball and on a lightly greased surface roll dough out into a very thin sheet, approximately 14"x8". Do this with each ball.

4. Place sheet on lightly greased baking sheet top the dough with a pinch of salt just before putting in oven and pinch dough with fork. With a knife line out the size of your crackers (you can snap them apart after they're done).

5. Bake for 20 minutes or until you can smell the crackers or they're golden brown.

6. Turn oven off and wait 15 minutes to open oven door (this helps crackers be crispier). Let crackers cool down. Enjoy.
