Jalapeno Slider*

*A slider is a miniature hamburger.

Flax Bread

2 cup brown flax seeds, soaked for 2 hours

2 cup golden flax seeds, ground into flour

1/4 cup olive oil

1 tomato, chopped

1 tablespoon oregano

1 tablespoon sea salt

In a food processor, combine brown flax, olive and tomato. Remove from food processor and place in a large bowl.

Fold in golden flax flour and seasonings.

Spread mixture on two Teflex sheets making a 8 x 8-inch square on each. Dehydrate at 115 degrees for 24-36 hours.

Flip bread over after 8 hours. With a pizza cutter, score the bread into a tic-tac-toe pattern.

You should have 9 slices per Teflex sheet (18 slices).

Making the slider hamburger bun: Take a small piece of the flax bread dough and form it into a miniature burger top, take a second piece and form into the burger bottom.
