Poppy Seed and Rosemary Flatbread

Submitted by Jan in Lanark

"Based on a recipe from Harrowsmith. This is a flatbread with no yeast- much like a cracker. Wonderful with hummus, tsatziki etc. or served with soup. Best eaten within 24 hours or frozen. A pasta machine and pizza stone produce superior results."

• Ingredients: 7
• Yields: 16 flatbreads

ingredients

• 3 cups flour
• 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped fine
• 1 tablespoon poppy seed
• 1 teaspoon coarse salt
• 1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper (optional)
• 3⁄4 cup water
• 1⁄4 cup extra virgin olive oil

directions

1. Combine flour, rosemary, poppy seeds, salt and pepper in a large bowl.
2. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add olive oil and water.
3. Blend the flour mixture into the water and oil gently, using your hands.
4. Turn the dough onto a work surface and knead for a couple of minutes, until smooth.
5. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
6. Place a pizza stone onto bottom rack of oven and preheat to 450.
7. Take a small chunk of dough (about golf ball size) and roll very thin, either by hand or with pasta machine- preferable- I go to notch 5 on the machine.
8. Transfer to pizza stone.
9. You should be able to fit 4 on the stone at one time.
10. Bake 8-12 minutes or until crisp and golden.
