Raw Dehydrated Crackers and Breads

Raw sweet bread recipe

1/3 cup psyllium husk (ground)

2 tablespoons flax meal (ground)

1 cup dates (soft)

1/2 cup pecans

2/3 cup raisins

1 medium orange (peeled)

1 large apple (peeled, cored, roughly chopped)

1 teaspoon orange zest (outer orange peel)

1 teaspoon cinnamon (or 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon + 1/4 teaspoon cloves)

1/8 teaspoon salt (or less)

Directions

1. Add all ingredients to food processor EXCEPT RAISINS, PSYLLIUM HUSK AND FLAXSEED MEAL. Process very well.

2. Add raisins. Pulse again until raisins are well distributed but raisins still looked like raisins :)

3. Transfer mixture to a bowl. Add psyllium husk and flaxseed meal. Stir well.

4. Form into two small loaves.

5. Dehydrate for 1 hour on high - then reduce to 110 degrees for another few hours (perhaps 5). These actually dehydrate pretty fast! You can nibble them as they firm up. Pull out when you want to eat them - I like them still a bit moist inside.

The Rawtarian's Thoughts

Since I recently discovered the beauty of psyllium husk, which allows you to dehydrate soft, moist raw breads, I have been loving this! It tastes almost exactly like a raw version of manna bread - if you've ever had that before :) But basically, it tastes like a nice spicy orange flavoured loaf of sweet bread - kind of like cinnamon raisin bread.

Raw bread recipe - moist spongy loaves

2 cups almonds (dry)

1 cup psyllium husk

1/2 cup flax meal

1 1/2 cups white onions (roughly chopped)

2 cloves garlic

3 teaspoons lemon juice

1 1/2 teaspoons salt

1/3 cup water + 1/8 cup water

Directions

1. Place almonds in food processor. Process until they look like slightly chunky "almond flour." REMOVE from food processor and dump into big bowl.

2. Add psyllium husk, flax and salt to bowl that contains "almond flour" that you just made.

3. Your food processor should now be empty. Add onions, garlic and lemon juice to your food processor. Process until quite liquidy, mushy and pourable.

4. Dump onion mixture into the big bowl that contains your dry ingredients.

5. Add 1/3 cup water to big bowl. Mix everything together with spoon. Add more water (1/8 cup) if necessary to get dry, doughlike texture that you can mold into loaves.

6. Mold into six small loaves.

7. Place directly onto dehydrator tray. Dehydrate at 145 degrees for 1 hour - then reduce temperature to 110 degrees. Dehydrate for another 6 hours or so. Tastes best if eaten right out of dehydrator, but can be stored in fridge for 4 days.

The Rawtarian's Thoughts

Because I am always so excitable I think I may have blown my credibility. But this time I mean it - THIS IS SOFT, SUPPLE, CUTTABLE SAVORY RAW BREAD THAT HAS A CRUST. JUST WATCH MY VIDEO BELOW AND YOU WILL KNOW THAT YOU HAVE DIED AND GONE TO RAW HEAVEN, WHERE THERE IS SPONGY BREAD THAT MELTS IN YOUR MOUTH.

Raw stuffed mushrooms

20 small fresh mushrooms (button mushrooms) (real normal mushrooms)

1/2 cup red pepper or yellow pepper (do not use green pepper)

2/3 cup pine nuts (or cashews in a pinch)

1-2 cloves garlic

1/2 cup fresh basil (packed) (or fresh cilantro)

1/2 cup fresh spinach (packed)

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

Directions

1. Clean all mushrooms with a dry tea towel or paper towel. Twist off stems. Separate stems from caps.
2. Place caps aside and reserve for later.
3. Throw clean mushroom stems into food processor. Add everything else to food processor EXCEPT RED PEPPER and EXCEPT MUSHROOM CAPS. Process until roughly chopped, resembling coarse pesto or a slightly chunky dip. Remove from food processor and set aside.
4. Place red pepper into food processor and pulse until lightly chopped. (Do not over-process.) Add chopped red peppers to previous mixture. Mix with a spoon.
5. Spoon the mixture into mushroom caps.
6. Dehydrate on high for 1.5 hours then reduce heat and dehydrate as high as rawfully safe for another 3-24 hours depending on how dehydrated you want them. Serve immediately after dehydrating.

The Rawtarian's Thoughts

Raw stuffed mushrooms are awesome for entertaining. They are best served right away. Try to dehydrate these as high as possible. They don't keep very well so probably one batch is good enough.

Raw pizza crust recipe

2 cups almonds (grind - you can do it yourself in a food processor)

1 cup ground flax seed (you should buy it pre-ground, it's easier -- or you can grind yourself in a coffee grinder) (DO NOT USE WHOLE FLAX SEEDS, YOU HAVE TO GRIND THEM FIRST!)

1 cup water

1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon dried basil

1 tablespoon dried thyme

1 tablespoon dried rosemary

3/4 teaspoon sea salt

Directions

1. Throw almonds in food processor. Start processing and keep going until they look almond meal. This is the most important step. Basically, it should look almost as fine as flour. You are creating flour out of almonds!

2. Throw your almond meal in a big mixing bowl.

3. Add the rest of the ingredients to the bowl that contains the almond meal. Stir/combine with a wooden spoon or even your hands. Your recipe should now resemble the texture of pizza dough!

4. Make small pizza crusts out of the dough. You want them quite thin, about 1/4 inch thick. You can try to use a rolling pin, but in my experience the dough is a bit too sticky to roll. I usually just make 8 or so single-serving pie crusts using my dry, clean hands. If your hands get too sticky wash your hands and dry them again.  I find that it's easiest to make your raw pizza crusts into circles, but it's also fun to shape them into triangles (usually make a square out of the dough and then cut it into a triangle with a knife so you get clean edges), like pizza slices. However, I would only bother trying to make triangles if I was going to have guests over for dinner or something.

5. Place your raw pie crusts on parchment paper or teflex sheets inside your dehydrator. Dehydrate on high for 1 1/2 hours, then reduce heat to 105 degrees and dehydrate for another 7-10 hours or so. Halfway through dehydrating your raw pie crusts you should remove the parchment/teflex  and flip the pie crusts over so that the air can circulate better. Dehydrate them until completely dry.

6. Once your raw pizza crusts are done store them in a big ziploc bag and place in the freezer. That way you have raw pizza crusts ready to be thawed and used whenever.  :)

The Rawtarian's Thoughts

Raw pizza crust recipes have always scared me. Why are there so many ingredients? Why do all the raw pizza recipes use "buckwheat" and "zucchini" and other raw ingredients that I never keep in my pantry on a regular basis?? I have been a 100% raw vegan for over 2 years and I have never attempted raw pizza because I feel overwhelmed whenever I look at a raw pizza recipe... Too many ingredients and steps!!

Raw onion bread recipe

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

Raw onion bread recipe inspired by Pansy on the Raw Freedom Community

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!

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!

Raw flax cracker recipe

1 cup walnuts (soaked for one hour or so and then rinse 'em)

1 cup sunflower seeds (soaked for one hour or so and then rinse 'em)

1 cup almonds (soaked for one hour or so and then rinse 'em)

1 medium tomato

1 cup red onion (chopped)

3 tablespoons flaxseed

2 teaspoons sea salt (very important! do not omit)

Raw flax cracker recipe inspired by the Boutenkos!

Directions

1. Add all ingredients to food processor. Process well, until quite well blended but still chunky. 40 seconds or so.

2. Spread onto two dehydrator sheets. Use parchment paper or Teflex sheets. (For the love of God, never use waxed paper!)

3. Dehydrate for 1 hour at 115. After one hour score the crackers with a knife so that they’ll be easier to separate later. Dehydrate for another 6 hours at 105. After 6 hours flip crackers and remove parchment paper or Teflex sheets. Dehydrate for one more hour at 105 until dry and cracker-like!

Do not use a high-speed blender for this recipe. A food processor will work much better. Dehydrating times can vary wildly depending on the season, the humidity and your dehydrator. The best thing to do is hang out at home and check on them every couple of hours until you get the hang of making crackers. Try not to nibble too much on these raw flax crackers before they're done!

The Rawtarian's Thoughts

Raw flax cracker recipes... Yeah, I know, there are a zillion of recipes for raw flax dehydrator crackers online. But how many of them are actually really good standby recipes that you want to make again and again? For me, this is my favorite raw flax cracker recipe -- hands down.

What makes this recipe special? As always, I like how there aren't very many ingredients in it. But somehow, I think because of the walnuts, these crackers have a very nice, hearty, satisfying weight to them.

Raw corn chip recipe

3 cups fresh raw corn kernels (cut 'em off the cob, of course!) (no canned corn please!)

1 1/2 cups yellow pepper

3/4 cup flax seed (finely ground, so use ground flax seed or grind some whole flax seeds yourself in a coffee grinder)

1 tablespoon lime juice (fresh) (you could probably use lemon if you have to)

1 tablespoon chili powder

1 teaspoon sea salt

Raw corn chip recipe inspired by Raw Food/Real World: 100 Recipes to Get the Glow by Matthew Kenney and Sarma Melngailis

 

Directions

1. Throw the corn and yellow pepper in the food processor. Process until almost smooth.

2. Add the remaining ingredients and process in your food processor until nicely blended for cracker/chip type texture. Don't over-process.

Note: Flax seeds act as the binding agent (keeps this recipe stuck together) so don't omit the ground flax for God's sake! This raw corn chip recipe needs flax!

3. Throw the mixture in your dehydrator.  As per the above photo, circles are the easiest to lay out in your dehydrator. But you can also do a whole sheet and then cut or snap them when they're partially dehydrated.

4. I usually dehydrate at 115 degrees for the first hour and then lower to 105 for the remaining time frame. Check them after four hours. If possible, flip them over and dehydrate for another four hours or so. Remember, dehydrating is an art and depends on lots of variables. So just check on 'em every once in a while.

The Rawtarian's Thoughts

Raw corn chip recipes are, of course, a necessity if you're going to be serving raw guacamole (delicious recipe for raw guac here)!

This raw corn chip recipe is simple enough to make, although you will require a food processor and a dehydrator (see my article with tips re: the appliances required for raw food recipes).

Raw cracker recipe - Buttery walnut zucchini crackers

2 1/2 cups of walnuts (soaked  for at least two hours then rinsed)

2 1/2 cups of cubed zuccini

1/2 cup ground flax seed (also known as flax seed meal)

1/4 cup hemp seed (also known as hemp hearts)

2 teaspoons of sea salt

Raw cracker recipe - Buttery walnut zucchini crackers recipe inspired by Mindi Mattson and family

Directions

1. Fully immerse walnuts in a bowl. Let sit for two hours. Discard soak water.  Quickly rinse the walnuts again.

2. Place walnuts in a food processor. Process them until they are in very small uniform pieces (Mindi suggests that they should resemble cous cous.). Transfer the ground walnuts to a bowl.

3. Place chopped zucchini in a food processor. Process the zucchini until it's in very small pieces. Add the processed zucchini into the bowl that already has the walnuts in it.

 4. Add ground flax, hemp seeds and salt to the bowl.

 5. Stir well until fully mixed. Add enough water to make spreadable dough ( 1/2 to 1 cup)

6. Spread the batter onto two dehydrator trays.

 7. Dehydrate at 115 degrees for the first hour, then lower to 105 degrees for the remaining time. Once they start to stay together very nicely (after a couple of hours in the dehydrator), remove them from the dehydrator. Take a knife and "cut" where you want your cracker lines to be. Once they're done (I dehydrate these for approximately 12 hours in total, because I eat them so fast that I like to leave a tiny bit of moisture still in them. You may need to leave them in longer depending on your batter and the moisture in the air), you'll be able to simply snap them along the lines that you made in the dough.

8. You'll know that they're done when they look and taste like delicious crackers and snap easily. If they're still kind of wet or doughy, they are not done.

9. Serve with thinly sliced tomatoes, avocado, sprouts, etc. They're crackers, so do whatever you like with them! Store them in a tightly sealed container.

The Rawtarian's Thoughts

These buttery raw walnut zucchini crackers are to die for. Warning: Once you make these crackers you'll never be able to go back to normal raw crackers. Consider yourself warned.

I've heard these crackers described as the raw food alternative to the "Ritz Cracker." Well, perhaps they don't taste exactly like raw Ritz Crackers, but they sure are savory, buttery and they melt in your mouth. Pure raw cracker bliss!

Mmm, serve with thinly sliced tomato and/or avocado... TO DIE FOR!

Basic raw cracker recipe

2 cups ground flax seeds

2/3 cup whole flax seeds

1 teaspoon sea salt

2 tablespoons red pepper (chopped very small)

2 tablespoons parsley (chopped very small)

1 teaspoon Italian spices (or your favourite savoury spice)

2 and 2/3 cups of water

1 and 1/3 cups of sunflower seeds

1/2 cup black sesame seeds (or regular white sesame seeds will do fine)

Basic raw cracker recipe inspired by Ani Phyo's recipes in Ani's Raw Food Kitchen 

Directions

1. Mix everything together in a mixing bowl.

 2. Spread batter on parchment paper or a teflex sheet. FYI: Do not use regular waxed paper. The crackers will stick to the paper and be difficult to remove. Buy parchment paper or teflex sheets (which can be purchased from dehydrator sellers).

 Remember that the above recipe should make two dehydrator sheets worth of crackers. Spread the batter out evenly. Using the back of a spoon works well.

3. Start dehydrating the crackers. I generally dehydrate everything at 120 degrees for the first hour, then I reduce the temperature to 105 degrees for the remainder of the cooking time.

4. Score the crackers. Once the crackers are starting to harden up (four hours later?), use a knife to score the crackers along wherever you want the crackers to separate. This will make them easier to break later on.

5. Remove paper or teflex. Once the crackers are holding their shape together very well (8 hours in the dehydrator?), break them apart along the score lines. Remove the parchment or teflex sheets and place the crackers directly on the dehydrator tray.

6. Finish dehydrating. Some people like their crackers a bit moist. I like them to be very dry. If you plan on keeping them for a few weeks or more in storage, then you must ensure that there is no moisture left.

A good way to make sure that they are really dry and dehydrated is to pinch them hard. If all of the moisture is gone, you should not be able to feel any movement. If you pinch a cracker and it gives a little, it needs to be dehydrated longer.

I dehydrate my crackers for a long time. Perhaps even 20 hours or so! That might be overkill, but it's what I do.

7. Eat and enjoy! I love avocado, sprouts, and tomato on raw crackers. Mmm!

The Rawtarian's Thoughts

Having a basic raw cracker recipe at your disposal is integral. Make sure to always have a batch of basic raw crackers on hand at all times. Crackers are very helpful when you need to throw together a quick raw meal or snack. Raw crackers are integral to helping you keep with the raw food diet lifestyle.

Here is my standby basic raw cracker recipe, which I use on a regular basis. Feel free to modify to suit your fancy. For example, you could make a sweeter cracker by omitting the savoury spices and vegetables, and substituting with cinnamon and chopped apricots, for example.
