Instructions: Set the oven to 350F 175C and heat it up. Ground flaxseed, coconut flour, chopped rosemary, garlic powder, and sea salt should all be mixed together in a bowl. Mix the dry ingredients with the olive oil and water until a dough forms. To make it thin, put the dough between two pieces of parchment paper and roll it out. Take off the top piece of parchment paper and put the rolled-out dough on a baking sheet. Use a knife or pizza cutter to cut the dough into the shapes you want for the crackers. If you want, you can sprinkle sesame seeds on top. After the oven is hot, bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and crispy.
