Crusty Flatbread

This recipe comes from World of Warcraft: The Official Cookbook, with some changes I’ve made while experimenting with the base recipe. From the cookbook itself:

​Adventuring in Northrend is serious business and requires serious sustenance. Perfect for travel, these crisp little pieces of flatbread have just a hint of herbs and a satisfying crunch.

Ingredients

• 1¾ cups of flour (I prefer multigrain)
• A pinch of rosemary, pumpkin spice, cumin or other spice
• 1 tsp of baking powder
• A pinch of sea salt
• ⅓ a cup of vegetable oil
• ½ a cup of water
• 1 tbsp of honey
• A splash of ​vegetable oil
• Another pinch of sea salt for topping

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 450°F.
2. Mix flour, spices, baking powder and a pinch of salt.
3. ​Add oil and water to the mixture and mix by hand until combined.
4. Roll out dough onto parchment paper until flat.
5. Mix the honey with the remaining vegetable oil and spread the mixture onto the dough.
6. Sprinkle the top of the dough with sea salt.
7. ​Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown.

Notes

• I’ve found that using pumpkin spice, cinnamon or nutmeg can add a dessert-like quality to the bread. Can also add cinnamon sugar on top to increase this effect.
• Adding cumin, black cumin and sesame seeds to the flatbread gives it a Middle Eastern flavour profile, which is great with hummus.
• This recipe yields 2-3 flatbreads depending on the size, so I often half the recipe.
• The honey adds another layer of flavour regardless of what you do with the bread.
• My favorite way to serve this bread is with eggs and avocado slices or as a quick snack.
• Once you get the recipe down, it only takes 20 minutes to get tasty flatbread on your table.
