- 2 ½ cups whole grain flour (brown rice, spelt, whole wheat, etc.)
- 2 tablespoons flaxseed meal, optional
- 1 teaspoon dried crushed rosemary
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup warm water
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- ½ teaspoon dried basil
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon dried parsley
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Mix flour, flaxseed meal, rosemary, salt, and water in a food processor until dough forms a ball. Turn dough onto a floured work surface, and knead for 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl, and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Let dough rest at room temperature 30-60 minutes.
Roll dough out to ¼-inch thickness to cover an oiled 11 x 17-inch baking sheet. With a fork, poke holes all across dough. Mix olive oil, basil, and garlic powder in a small bowl, and stir well. Use a basting brush to spread oil mixture across dough. Score (make shallow cuts without separating into pieces) with a knife into 12 (3 x 3 1/2-inch) squares with a knife.
Bake 15-20 minutes or until slightly crispy, and remove from oven. Let cool on baking sheet 10 minutes before cutting and serving.

- Flaxseed meal is a powder made from ground flaxseeds. It can be found in health food stores and some grocery stores. Instead of buying flaxseed meal, you can also grind whole flaxseeds at home by using a coffee or seed grinder.
- Making this recipe in a bread machine is easy. Simply put the setting on "Dough" and let the machine do all the kneading work for you.
