Prep Time 30 minutes mins

Course Appetizer, Side Dish, Snack

Ingredients

  

• 1 egg
• 3 tbsp honey
• 1 cup milk I use oat milk, but any milk works
• 2 cups flour organic is best
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tbsp baking powder
• 2 tbsp butter
• 2 tbsp avocado oil

Instructions

 

• Preheat your oven to 450 degrees. Place a cookie sheet in the oven to get hot. This method would also work on your grill.
• In a large bowl mix your dry ingredients together, flour, salt, and baking powder.
• In a second bowl mix the egg, milk, honey, and butter together. Slowly knead this mixture into the flour mixture until well combined. Add the oil and knead for a just a few minutes to ensure that you don't over work the dough.
• Let the dough rest with a damp cloth for 20 minutes.
• Divide the dough into 8 equal balls and roll into circles that are about 3-4 inches in diameter.
• Place the circles of dough on the hot cookie sheet and lightly brush with olive oil or butter. Place in the oven or on your grill and let them bake for about 2 minutes and then check to see if the side that is on the pan is browning. When this happens flip to the other side to ensure both sides are cooked. Bake for an additional 2 minutes. You want the flatbreads to bake for a total of 4-5 minutes depending on thickness.

Notes

If the dough is too wet add a little bit more flour to compensate.
