Best Whole Wheat Garlic Flatbread Recipes

GARLIC HERB FLATBREAD

Steps:

• To a large mixing bowl, add yeast, garlic, herbs, sea salt, organic cane sugar, all-purpose flour, and spelt flour and whisk.
• Make a well in the dry ingredients and add olive oil and two-thirds of the warm water to start (1/2 cup or 120 ml as original recipe is written // adjust if altering batch size). Stir with a wooden spoon to mix. Add more water as needed until a dough forms.
• Transfer to a clean, well-floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic - about 2 minutes - adding more flour as needed to prevent sticking.
• Wipe out mixing bowl and add a bit of oil (1 tsp as original recipe is written // adjust if altering batch size). Roll dough around to coat and position seam-side down in the bowl. Cover with a damp towel or plastic wrap. Set in a warm place to rise for 1 hour.
• Once doubled in size (see photo), cut dough into 6 even pieces (amount as original recipe is written // adjust if altering batch size), arrange on a clean surface, and lay a damp towel on top. Let rest.
• In the meantime, heat a large skillet (electric or cast iron) to medium-high heat (~375 degrees F/ 190 C).
• One at a time on a lightly floured surface, roll each piece of dough into a large circle that's fairly thin (not paper thin, but less than 1/8th inch thick - see photo).
• Lightly grease preheated skillet and lay down flatbread. Don't touch, cook for 2 ½ minutes. Flip and cook for 2 ½ minutes on the other side. Repeat, adding more oil to coat surface, until all flatbread is cooked.
• Enjoy immediately, or let cool completely and store in a well-sealed bag or container up to 3 days (though best when fresh).

WHOLE-GRAIN HERBED GARLIC BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Place the garlic on a double-thick square of aluminum foil, drizzle with 1/2 teaspoon of the oil and fold up the foil to enclose the garlic securely. Place the garlic directly on the oven rack and bake until it is golden brown and meltingly soft, about 1 hour. Unwrap and set aside until cool enough to handle, about 5 minutes.
• Combine the parsley, thyme and remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil in a small bowl. Remove the roasted garlic cloves from the white papery husks with the tip of a butter knife and place them in the bowl. Mash with a fork until smooth and spreadable. Spread the mixture evenly over the bread halves and sprinkle with the Parmesan and salt to taste. Place on a baking sheet and broil (about 6 inches from the heat source) until the top is just browned, about 2 minutes. Cut into 4 pieces and serve warm.

GRILLED GARLIC FLATBREAD

Steps:

• Whisk 3 tablespoons olive oil, 1 minced garlic clove and 1/4 teaspoon each kosher salt, dried oregano and red pepper flakes. Stretch 1 pound pizza dough into a 1/2-inch-thick round. Brush with some of the garlic oil, flip onto the grill and cook over medium heat, covered, until puffy, 10 minutes. Brush with more of the oil, flip, cover and cook through, 5 more minutes. Brush with the remaining oil. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan.

WHOLE WHEAT FLAT BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• Mix ingredients together in a large bowl (I use a wooden spoon for this, although you could also use the bread hook on a mixer, or even a bread machine).
• The dough should form a ball -- not too dry, but not too sticky either. If you have mixed for a long time, and there is still a lot of flour in the bowl, add a tiny bit more water; If the dough is too wet, add more flour.
• Cover the ball of dough with a thin dusting of flour, so you can remove it from the bowl.
• Using floured hands, spread the dough onto a greased cookie sheet -- The dough should be thin enough cover the entire sheet (make sure that the cookie sheet is greased so that the dough doesn't stick when you're trying to spread it).
• Bake for 25 minutes at 350 (for a more "cracker-like" snack, bake longer).
• Transfer to a cooling rack to cool, and cut into 12 slices.
