Bake your own spelt flatbread

Story by

Sophie Hansen shares with the ABC Organic Gardener team how to make your own spelt flatbread. Try it with this delicious recipe.

These flatbreads, with tabbouleh and a few pickles and a dish of hummus perhaps, make a gorgeous summer lunch or dinner. Add in some grilled lamb or chicken if you like, or keep it vegetarian as we did here.

Ingredients

1 cup (160g) wholemeal spelt flour

1/2 cup (75g) plain white flour

1tsp baking powder

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

2/3 cup Greek-style yoghurt

30g butter, melted

Extra salt, to sprinkle on at the end

1. In a large bowl, combine the flours, baking powder, salt and yogurt. Turn onto the bench and knead, adding a little more flour (your choice) and knead for a few minutes or until soft and elastic. Cover and leave at room temperature for half an hour or a few hours, whatever suits!

2. Uncover your dough, divide into four pieces and shape each into a small ball. Roll them out, one at a time, on a lightly floured surface so you have four discs of dough, around 5mm wide each.

3. Melt a little of thebutter in a frying pan on medium-high heat. Place one of the discs of dough in the pan and fry on both sides until puffed and golden. Repeat with remaining dough, adding a little butter each time.

4. Sprinkle flatbreads with sea salt and serve with tabbouleh, pickles and hummus.
