Chia Seed Flatbread
2 cups white whole wheat flour 1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon instant yeast 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds or whole flax seeds
2 tablespoons chia seeds 2 tablespoons soft butter
3/4 cup warm water
Whisk together the flour, salt, yeast, and seeds. Work in
the soft butter and water, then mix and knead the dough until it becomes smooth
and pliable. Form the dough into a ball, place in a greased bowl, cover, and
let rise for an hour or more, until puffy. Turn the dough out onto a greased
surface and fold it over several times. Divide the dough into six pieces. Roll
each piece into a ball. Cover the balls with a damp cloth and let rest for 10
minutes. Starting with the first ball you made, roll each ball of dough into a
rough 8" to 9" circle; circles should be a scant 1/8" thick.
Heat a heavy frying pan or griddle on
medium heat for a minute or two, and brush the pan with oil just before
cooking the first bread. Place a dough round in the pan. Cook the first side
for 1 to 2 minutes, until it starts to bubble and has some darkish brown spots;
flip over and bake the second side until firm. Stack the breads as they come
off the griddle to keep them warm and soft. Yield: 6 flatbreads.
