well, i'm currently in Armidale, NSW, and enjoying the warm winter sun and beautiful landscape surrounding me. it's a pleasure to see a country town, because it is so far different from the coast - smaller, quainter and friendlier. the architecture is stunning, and i never get bored of it. i do however miss the warmth of the coast... for those of you who think that Oz never gets cold, well, think again - it gets very cold here!
now, onto more foodie related things... a few people have requested the celery flax bread recipe i spoke of a few posts ago - and i'm finally getting round to posting it on my blog:
♥ this recipe makes pizza base, crackers, wraps and bread - all depending on how long you dehydrate it for, and in what shape and thickness you create it.
celery flax bread recipe:
1 cup diced celery
½ an onion, diced
½ cup ground flaxseed
1 ½ Tbsp olive oil
½ Tbsp dried oregano
¾ cup water
a little salt and pepper
1. place all the ingredients in a blender, and mix until thoroughly combined.
2. spread the mixture out on greaseproof paper in circles or large rectangles, and dehydrate for 4-6 hours, cut into triangles and dehydrate again for a few hours until crisp for crackers, or leave just once for pizza base or wraps.
notes: i dehydrated mine in the oven with the door ajar, as i don't have a proper dehydrator. you can of course just bake it quickly with the door shut, and it'll probably be done incredibly quickly!
now onto some recent down under sights:
♥ wottle - an australian icon. and very beautiful!
♥ white chocolate and raspberry torte - i was given this for tea at my cousin's house. it was baked by her lodger, a young uni student, and it was perfection!!
♥ dangar falls - a very long thin waterfall out in the bush... we saw kangaroos up close in the wild, and they hopped up to us as we lit our evening bbq!
currently reading: tilly trotter omnibus
- my nickname used to be tilly trotter, but i've not read the book until now... i saw it on the shelf in the house i'm currently staying in, and i've not been able to put it down since (save to write this blog post!)
I'll definitely be giving that recipe a try in my excalibur! I really fancy trying a raw pizza sometime!
ReplyDeletehi! i have two questions- what temperature do you leave the oven on? and how long does it take?
ReplyDeletehanna @ a chai kind of day
Hello! Just wanted to tell you that i made the crackers today and it tasted really good! I added caraway seeds and herb blend (instead of oregano) and omitted the olive oil. I cooked it in the oven with varying temperature, which I'll have to work on next time - cuz some of it were soggy, and some parts burned! Anyway, thanks for the awesome recipe! Your blog is beautiful, too!
