Flat bread

 What kind of weekend did you have.  Ours here in Wisconsin was a little exciting don't you think.  Mine started off with a dog sled race in Bayfield.  How exciting was that.  One of those events I had never been to before and it was just fun.  Then add to that  the Packers winning the Super Bowl and winter is easy.

I have been experimenting with flat breads.  I tried various flours.  Seems like just about any flour will work.  This one is featured with quinoa flour.  Really easy and quick.  You can use these in so many different ways.  I had them as a sandwich, just spread with favorite ingredients, or use in place of crackers.  When you use whole grain flours that are gluten free it really is a healthy food.  I don't eat much bread so this is a nice replacement.

For our exciting dog sled weekend I used it as crackers with pea soup.  We needed to take something along for the day and that worked out beautifully.

Flat bread

1 cup quinoa flour
1/2 cup tapioca starch
2 tsp guar gum
1/8 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp dried thyme
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp dried onion
3/4 c water
1 tsp apple cider vinegar
2 Tbsp olive oil
2 Tbsp flax meal mixed with 6 Tbsp water
sesame seeds for sprinkling

Mix all dry ingredients in stand mixer bowl.  In separate bowl blend water, vinegar and olive oil.  In separate bowl mix flax with water.  Add wet ingredients and flax to dry ingredients.  Mix and turn on high for 1 minute.  Scrap down bowl and blend on high one more minute.  Grease and flour a 8x12 inch glass cake pan.  Spread the batter evenly with the back of a wet spoon.  Keep dipping the spoon in water until spread out evenly and smooth.  Sprinkle sesame seeds on top.  Bake at 350 for 30-35 minutes.  Cut into whatever sizes you want.

So try flat bread.  I think you won't be disappointed.  Just like everyone in Wisconsin!
