Looking
for a healthy alternative to flour-based bread? Look no further than this recipe
for flax-onion flatbread - it's perfect for sandwiches, pizzas, and even as a
nice side to eat with soups and salads.
This
flax-onion flatbread is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin E, selenium, fiber,
and a number of phytochemicals that can reduce your risk of developing cardiovascular
disease and different types of cancer - most notably, colon and ovarian cancer.
Ingredients:
4
medium yellow onions 3/4 cups raw sunflower seeds, ground in a strong food
processor 3/4 cups flax seeds, ground in a strong food processor 1/3 cup
extra-virgin olive oil 1/4 cup Nama Shoyu or naturally fermented soy sauce
Directions:
1.
Peel and halve the yellow onions.
2.
Use a knife, mandolin, or food processor to cut the onions into thin slices.
3.
Combine onion slices with the rest of the ingredients in a large bowl and toss
and mix well until ingredients are well combined.
4.
Spread about 2 cups of the mixture on parchment paper or a sheet of Paraflexx
Premium paper on a dehydrator tray. Repeat this step on dehydrator trays until
bread mixture is used up.
5.
Dehydrate at 100 degrees Fahrenheit for 24 hours.
6.
Turn each tray upside-down onto a large cutting board or a clean kitchen counter,
and carefully peel the parchment paper or sheet of Paraflexx Premium off the bread.
7. Return
the bread to the dehydrator for another 12 hours.
8.
Once the bread resembles a soft, flatbread, cut into smaller pieces for easy eating
- for 2 cups spread out onto each sheet, each sheet should yield about 9 rectangular
pieces of flax-onion bread.
If
you don't have a food dehydrator, the one that I use and recommend is the Excalibur
Dehydrator - you can get more information on it here:

Just a note to let you know how much I appreciate your
newsletter. As a fellow health care provider (optometrist) and medical researcher,
I find your distillation of the literature into lay terms to be accurate and very

I'm sure as a doctor you hear
your share of complaints. I just thought you'd like to know that there's at least
one person in your "e-audience" that appreciates the time and effort you put into
sending the emails. I really look forward to them. - Linda H., Raleigh, North
Carolina
Many of my adult ESL students are Korean, and enjoy bits
and pieces from your newsletter that I have shared with them. In addition to your
logical approach to health, I enjoy sharing your newsletter because your English
is unfailingly correct as well as easily understood. Thank you for your beautiful
approach to life. - J. Zetterstrom
I thank you and your staff
for such a great website. I am former National Level Bodybuilder so I know a thing
or two about health and fitness. Your site is very valuable and I do my best to
pass it on to friends and people I train. It is also a helpful resource in my
career as a human service provider working with clients who need to recover from
substance abuse. I believe a major part of recovery is getting your body and mind
feeling healthy and strong. Thank you again! Great Website! - Michael Christopher,
MSW
I truly appreciate your wonderful newsletter - your balanced
