WHOLE WHEAT FLATBREAD

Kind of like a chapati, a flat pita, or a whole wheat tortilla. It is thin, perfect for scooping up dips or rolling into wraps. You could probably make these on a grill, too, and they would be lovely. These turn out to be around 6- or 7-inch diameter breads, more or less. If you want larger breads (think burrito-sized) then cut these into 8-10 pieces instead of 12.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Flour: Whole wheat flour adds a nutty flavor and extra fiber to the flatbread. You can also use a blend of all-purpose and whole wheat flour.
  • Activate the Yeast Properly: If using active dry yeast, make sure to bloom it in warm water with a pinch of sugar before adding it to the dough.
  • Knead the Dough Thoroughly: Kneading develops the gluten in the flour, giving the flatbread a chewy texture.
  • Let the Dough Rise: Allow the dough to rise in a warm place until it doubles in size. This step helps develop the flavor and texture of the flatbread.
  • Roll the Dough Thin: The thinner you roll the dough, the crispier the flatbread will be.
  • Cook the Flatbread Over High Heat: A hot oven or skillet will help create a crispy exterior and a chewy interior.
  • Don't Overcrowd the Pan: Make sure to leave enough space between the flatbreads in the pan so they can cook evenly.
  • Top the Flatbread Generously: Use your favorite toppings, such as cheese, vegetables, or meats, and don't be afraid to experiment.

Conclusion:

Whole wheat flatbread is a versatile and delicious bread that can be enjoyed in many different ways. Whether you're making it as a side dish, an appetizer, or a main course, these tips will help you create the perfect flatbread.
