Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure the bread cooks evenly.
-
Mix the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, water, extra virgin olive oil, and flax seeds. A wooden spoon works well for mixing, although a bread hook attachment or a bread machine can also be utilized for convenience.
-
Form the Dough: Stir until the mixture forms a cohesive ball. The dough should not be too dry or overly sticky. If the dough remains crumbly with excess flour, incorporate a tiny splash of water; conversely, if it’s too wet, sprinkle in additional flour until the desired consistency is achieved.
-
Prepare the Dough for Baking: Lightly dust the ball of dough with flour to facilitate removal from the bowl. With floured hands, gently spread the dough onto a greased cookie sheet, ensuring it covers the entire surface evenly. It’s important that the cookie sheet is greased to prevent sticking during baking.
-
Bake the Bread: Place the cookie sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes. For those who prefer a crunchier texture reminiscent of crackers, extend the baking time slightly.
-
Cool and Slice: Once baked, transfer the flat bread to a cooling rack to cool completely. After cooling, cut the bread into 12 slices for easy serving.
Enjoy your homemade Whole Wheat Flat Bread, perfect for a variety of toppings or as a wholesome snack on its own!
