3 massive, huge sweet white onions (2.5 pounds)
1 cup ground sunflower seeds (you can grind them yourself using a coffee grinder)
1 cup ground flax seeds (you can grind them yourself using a coffee grinder)
1/3 cup olive oil
3 1/2 tablespoons of raw soy sauce, tamari or nama shoyu
Directions
1. Peel onions, place in food processor and process in your food processor until small but not mushy. (Do not use a high-speed blender.)
2. Place onions in a large mixing bowl. Add everything else! Mix with a spoon. If it's dry and won't mix, you can add a small splash of water (ex. 1 tbsp), but I doubt you'll need to add any water at all.
3. Spread onto dehydrator trays. Use parchment paper (not wax paper because it'll melt and stick!!!) or teflex sheets as a base. This raw onion bread recipe makes three Excalibur trays.
4. Dehydrate for 1 hour at 120 degrees, then reduce to 105 degrees and dry for another 6 hours. Once the crackers start drying out and holding together, score them with a knife.
5. At some point you'll want to flip them over, remove the parchment paper and finish dehydrating them, maybe for another 4 hours or so. I like them to be a bit chewy. Just try nibbling on this raw onion bread recipe and see whether you want it crispier. Dehydrating times can vary greatly, so trust YOUR judgment.
6. Enjoy this raw onion bread recipe!
The Rawtarian's Thoughts
Raw onion bread recipe - Here ya go friends!
I first tasted raw onion bread at a tiny raw food restaurant. I immediately went home and started searching online for a raw onion bread recipe that tasted just as good!
Well, nothing compares with having raw onion bread made by someone else and served to you with a smile, but...second best is making this raw onion bread recipe for yourself at home!
I had never made raw crackers or raw bread that included olive oil, but the addition of olive oil makes this raw onion bread recipe so easy to spread! This recipe makes enough for three sheets of onion bread.
I like to dehydrate this raw onion bread recipe until it's basically dry but still pliable/bendable.

Hi Laura-Jane,
Thank you for sharing this recipe! I've been wanting to try dehydrating onions for a while, but I've heard it will virtually impregnate my dehydrator and home with the scent of onions.
Any truth to this in your experience?
Thanks,
Aimme

Lol, yes, there is truth to that!!! Except the smell will go away eventually. But yeah, you have been warned!
It's worth it though.

I made this recipe for the first time tonight. The only change I made was that I added about 2 tbsp of honey because my onions weren't very sweet. I have my dehydrator plugged in outside on my porch. I think the smell is so strong that no critters will come near it! I hope it's beautiful and delicious in the morning.
Thanks, Laura-Jane.

You are welcome. I hoped they turned out well. What a great idea to put your dehydrator outside! Funnily enough, I've never thought of that before. In the case of these onion crackers, I think it's a great idea.

Wow! This was soooo delicious. I want to make more, but I am trying to find a place to put the dehydrator so the place won't smell like onions! I don't mind, but my husband does. What is the best way to store these and how long do they keep in the fridge? I wanted to make some for next weekend to take and introduce my relatives to some yummy raw foods! I can't wait to try some of your recipes. shalom, Raine

Hi Raine, I store them in a ziplock bag in the fridge. It's hard to avoid the onion smell. Some people dehydrate in the garage. Good luck!

It makes 6 small wrap shells - each person could probably eat two per meal. So that's 3 servings

Sorry - wrote that all crazy... haha. It actually doesn't taste bad at all, I did a bit of a taste test (while still dehydrating, 2 hours now...) it will probably end up taking a little longer than if I had actually thoroughly read what you wrote the first time .... my guess though, it will take longer...you think?

Sorry for blowing up your wall with my comments but, the onion bread came out super tasty! (despite the mushyness of the onion), I am trying to think of what yummy filling I can create to make a sandwitch, any suggestions? Thanks!!! :)

haha - funny thing is that, I had made that EXACT filling (along with some garlic yummy spread, and threw in some fresh basil too) so funny, great minds think alike!!! So, I used your garlic dressing recipe and grounded up some brazil nuts with it, it came out like a thick spread... super yummy!!!

I can't wait to try this! I wonder if a bowl of white vinegar next to the dehydrator would help with the smell. If it works, I'll let you know. Love all the great ideas!

If I dehydrate something with a strong smell like this onion bread with other things dehydrating in other trays, would my cookies taste like onion, for example?

Yes, they would. It's best to dehydrate savory in one batch and sweet in a separate batch to avoid flavors combining in your D

Hey Laura-Jane, I don't have a dehydrator as yet and have just started a raw foods diet. Are there any other alternatives - for example, could I just use my oven at a low temperature instead? Suggestions would be really good as I don't have £125 to spend on a dehydrator right now. Many thanks. :)

No, sorry. Won't work in an oven. Best to not try to make dehydrated recipes until you have a dehydrator.

Because the onions would get liquified and you'd lose a lot of the texture that makes this recipe nice

Hi there, just made this onion bread receipe too. And it is totally deliscious and I made it in a NORMAL OVEN on the hot air setting. The lowest setting on my oven is 50 degrees, but it is possible to turn on the oven and stop turning the nob to a point before the 50 degree mark. And then I used an oven temperature thermometer to check the heat never got over 42 degrees. Worked totally fine. Spread the onion 'dough' onto normal baking paper on top of a normal baking tray, possible a bit thinner than the bread in your photo, but then transferred the baking paper onto a baking rack to let air get closer to the 'dough'. With this same idea in mind, I also punched a few small holes in through the dough and baking paper. Not sure it made a difference. But the bread turned out deliscious. Had mine rolled up with spinach, avocado, tomatoslices and a couple of twists of a pepper-chili mix I have in my peper grinder. And then I circummed to a tiny bit of mayo too. It was deliscious. The receipe I used had similar ingredients and ratios but called for longer in the oven. So my bread were ready after about 18 hours at 42 degrees, turned my oven off at night time. Maybe I can make them quicker next time by following the dehydration process you suggest here. Do you have a raw food alternative to the mayo component?

Wow, sounds complicated but a great alternative since your oven seems to do well at low temps. (most ovens do not really go below 100, in my experience).
Thank you for sharing your experiences Karen. They make this site a better resource for all.

Thank you for sharing this low calorie version of raw onion bread. I've made a recipe similar to this and I think that the smell of onions is more like the smell of onions cooking (even though my dehydrator is set to 115 degrees) rather than raw onions. The one difference in my recipe is that I thinly slice the onions rather than processing them. I find that my bread has a bitter taste when I process or shred the onions.
If you're looking for some variations you can add up to one tablespoon herbs such as basil, Italian seasoning, Herbs de Provence, rosemary and garlic ... This also helps if you or someone in your family doesn't like the smell of onion bread in the dehydrator.
One last tip - I place my dehydrator in the garage. That does help with any unwanted odor and yet it's in a protected place.
