Cooking
Pre-heat the oven to gas mark 6 (200 °C; 400 °F).
Blitz the flax seeds to a coarse powder in a coffee grinder (or pound them using a pestle and mortar, and then mix all of the dry ingredients.
Rub in the oil.
Progressively add the water until the mixture comes together as a soft dough.
Take a quarter of the dough (about 150 g) and roll it out as thin as it will go between two sheets of non-stick baking parchment.
Remove the top sheet and cut the dough with a pizza wheel or double handed herb chopper into small (about 1 cm) squares.
Slide the sheet of dough onto a baking tray or direct onto your baking stone and bake for about 20 minutes until golden and crispy.
Allow to cool on a wire rack.
