Easy Whole Grain Flatbread Recipes

Steps:

• Put the flour into a bowl; add salt; then slowly add 1 1/2 cups water, whisking to eliminate lumps. Cover with a towel, and let sit while oven heats, or up to 12 hours. The batter should be about the consistency of thin pancake batter.
• When ready to bake, heat the oven to 450°F Put the oil in a 12-inch rimmed pizza pan or skillet (along with the onion and rosemary if you're using them) and put in the heated oven. Wait a couple of minutes for the oil to get hot, but not smoking; the oil is ready when you just start to smell it.
• Carefully remove the pan (give the onions a stir), pour in the batter, and return the skillet to the oven. Bake 30 to 40 minutes, or until the flatbread is well browned, firm, and crisp around the edges. (It will release easily from the pan when it's done.) Let it rest for a couple minutes before cutting it into wedges or squares.
• To use for pizza, top baked flatbread with a thin layer of tomato sauce, a sprinkling or crumble of cheese, and thinly sliced vegetables, cooked meat, olives, onions, etc. Turn on the broiler and put the pan under the heat until the ingredients are hot and bubbly. Let rest as above, then cut and serve.

Steps:

• Mix flours together.
• Mix salt into water to dissolve.
• Add water and oil to flour, mix well.
• Knead briefly on floured surface, let rest 10-15 minutes.
• Cut into 12 equal parts.
• Roll each flat, do not stack them.
• Cook on ungreased griddle, a few minutes on each side until golden brown.
• Optional - brush with melted butter or olive oil immediately after removing from griddle.

Steps:

• Put the flour in a medium bowl and rub in the oil with your fingertips. Stir in 225ml warm water, mix thoroughly, then knead until the dough feels smooth and elastic.
• Put the dough onto a lightly floured surface and divide into eight balls. Sprinkle the work surface with a little more flour and roll out one of the balls very thinly, using a floured rolling pin, to around 22cm in diameter. Turn the dough regularly and sprinkle with a little more flour if it begins to stick. Set aside and make the other flatbreads in the same way. If making ahead, freeze before cooking.
• Put a medium non-stick frying pan over a high heat and, once hot, add one of the flatbreads. Cook for about 30 secs, then turn over and cook on the other side for 30 secs. Press the flatbread with a spatula while cooking to encourage it to puff up and cook inside - it should be lightly browned in patches and look fairly dry, without being crisp. Repeat with the remaining flatbreads, keeping them warm by wrapping in a clean tea towel until needed.
