Let’s get started!

Ingredients:

This recipe is designed to be flexible, allowing you to adjust the grains based on your preferences and what you have on hand. Feel free to experiment! Here’s a suggested starting point:* 1 cup whole wheat flour
* ½ cup rye flour
* ½ cup oat flour (you can easily make this by blending rolled oats in a food processor)
* ¼ cup cornmeal (fine or coarse, your choice)
* 1 teaspoon salt
* 1 tablespoon olive oil
* 1 ½ cups warm water (adjust as needed)
* Optional: ½ teaspoon baking powder (for a slightly fluffier flatbread)
* Optional: 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (for added sweetness and flavor)

Instructions:

1. Combining the Dry Ingredients: ([Insert image of dry ingredients in a bowl]) Start by whisking together all your dry ingredients: whole wheat flour, rye flour, oat flour, cornmeal, salt, and baking powder (if using) in a large bowl. This ensures even distribution of flavor and texture.

2. Adding the Wet Ingredients: ([Insert image of adding wet ingredients to dry ingredients]) Add the olive oil and warm water to the dry ingredients. Begin mixing with a wooden spoon or your hands until a shaggy dough forms. If you're adding honey or maple syrup, add it now. The dough will be quite sticky at this stage – that’s perfectly normal!

3. Kneading the Dough: ([Insert image of kneading the dough]) Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for 5-7 minutes until the dough becomes smoother and more elastic. It won't be as smooth as bread dough, but it should hold its shape better. If the dough is too sticky, add a tablespoon or two of flour at a time until it's manageable.

4. Resting the Dough: ([Insert image of dough resting in a bowl]) Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rest for at least 30 minutes. This allows the gluten to relax, making the dough easier to roll out.

5. Rolling Out the Flatbreads: ([Insert image of rolling out the flatbread]) Divide the dough into 6-8 equal portions. On a lightly floured surface, roll each portion into a thin circle, about 6-8 inches in diameter. The thinner you roll them, the crispier they will be. Don't worry about perfect circles – rustic is beautiful!

6. Cooking the Flatbreads: ([Insert image of flatbreads cooking on a griddle or pan]) Heat a lightly oiled griddle or large skillet over medium heat. Cook each flatbread for 2-3 minutes per side, or until lightly browned and cooked through. You'll see bubbles forming on the surface as they cook – this is a good sign!

7. Serving and Enjoying: ([Insert image of finished flatbreads stacked]) Once cooked, stack the flatbreads on a plate and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm and soft. These are delicious on their own, but they're also fantastic with various toppings! Experiment with hummus, avocado, cheese, grilled vegetables, or your favorite sandwich fillings.

Tips and Variations:

• Flour Combinations: Feel free to experiment with different flour combinations. Spelt flour, barley flour, or even a small amount of almond flour can add unique flavors and textures.

• Herbs and Spices: Add a teaspoon or two of your favorite herbs or spices to the dough for extra flavor. Dried oregano, rosemary, or thyme work well.

• Seeds: Incorporate seeds like flax, chia, or sunflower seeds into the dough for added nutrition and texture.

• Storage: Store leftover flatbreads in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze them for longer storage.
