Cheesy Flatbread

Submitted by wicked cook 46

"From Canadian Living Posting for safe keeping I start with 2 cups of flour and add the other 1/2 cup as I knead it ( sometimes a bit less) I have also added some dried herbs into the dough to change the recipe up. This is a crunchy flatbread"

 

• Ready In: 1hr 5mins
• Ingredients: 10
• Serves: 24

ingredients

• 1⁄2 cup warm water
• 4 egg whites
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
• 2 1⁄2 cups all-purpose flour (approx)
• 1⁄3 cup grated romano cheese or 1/3 cup parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 tablespoon poppy seed
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

directions

1. In bowl, combine water, egg whites, salt, sugar and yeast. Using wooden spoon, stir in 2 cups (500 mL) of the flour, cheese and thyme; beat until smooth. Add enough of the remaining flour to form soft dough. Turn out onto lightly floured surface; knead several times to form ball. Place in greased bowl, turning to grease all over. Cover with plastic wrap; let rise for 45 minutes.
2. Punch down dough and turn out onto lightly floured surface; divide into 4 portions. Roll out each portion into 1/8-inch (3 mm) thick circle or oval. Place on lightly greased baking sheets; prick all over with fork. Brush lightly with water; sprinkle with poppy and sesame seeds.
3. Bake in 400°F (200°C) oven for 10 to 15 minutes or until golden brown. Transfer to racks and let cool. Break into shards. (Flatbread can be stored at room temperature in airtight container for up to 3 days.).

This is another one of those recipes that I decided to cut in half (just 2 of us eating this) but it has such a great taste that I'm looking to make it another time when we have company! Definitely a keeper of a recipe! [Tagged, made & reviewed in Please Review My Recipe]

Excellent bread and so pretty! Love the seasonings in the bread. I made the dough in the bread maker and glad I did. I wanted ours to be thicker but think I made it too thick. So instead of flatbread got fat bread. LOL! Oh well live and learn. I served with Recipe#369605 and a tossed salad. Thanks wicked for sharing. Made for Everyday is a Holiday.

This was really good, although both DH and I didn't find it cheesy. For ease of prep, I threw it all in the breadmaker and set it to dough, which worked excellent. It was like a crackerbread that would be awesome with dips (which is what I have in mind for it for tomorrow.) Thanks for sharing the recipe! Made for Newest Tag.

I loved this! I didn't roll it out quite as thin as stated, only because I wanted just a slightly thicker texture. I can just imagine this being really good with soup, rolled out thinner, instead of soda crackers. :)
