I love this recipe. I'm attempting to greatly reduce the amount of wheat in my diet and was looking for a tasty bread replacement. I have made these crackers twice and love the flavour of the tomatoes and basil. I adjusted the temp - 115deg for 4hrs initially, then an extra 10. I had some trouble processing the mix after adding the flax meal, but they still came out well. I probably need to upgrade my processor!!

I love life, walk around in awe of the universe, and am always made happier by things that smell delicious. Like pumpkin pie spice. And turmeric.
We've been vegan since Fall '08, and are just starting to feel like we know the tricks of the trade...and Recipezaar has certainly made the transition easier. Yey Recipezaar!
