From an Ayurvedic perspective, store-bought bread can be tough on your body.
Why? Yeast is warming and can cause digestive imbalance. And store-bought bread is not fresh so there isn’t any prana or life energy left in it. So what’s a health-conscious bread lover to do?
Well, you’re in luck. With this Simple + Delicious Flatbread Recipe, tasty wraps are quick and easy. Parents, these are perfect for school lunches.
Enjoy it with nut butter and honey or hummus, avocado, and veggies. Or try it with your favorite sandwich fixings.
Flatbread Recipe
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup water, or more (depending on humidity)
- 1 1/8 cups flour (high quality, organic, non-GMO)
- 1/2 teaspoon mineral salt
Directions
- Heat pan or griddle on medium-high.
- Meanwhile, add flour and salt to a small mixing bowl. Slowly add water, working it in with your hand. Mix until dough is slightly sticky (sticks to your hand, but doesn’t leave dough behind). Don’t worry if you add too much water, just mix in a little more flour if you do. Knead until there is some stretchiness to the dough (2-3 min).
- Spread extra flour on a cutting board. Break dough up into 4-6 equal-sized balls. Roll out the balls with a rolling pin, not too thin though – think thin pita bread, thinner than a tortilla.
- When the pan is smoking hot, add the rounds. Flip when you start to see big bubbles and seared marks (1 minute or so depending on heat). Wrap the finished bread in a cloth napkin and store it in an air-tight container.
