Buckwheat Flatbread With Spicy Hummus And Vegetables Recipes

Y NOT BUCKWHEAT FLATBREAD WITH SPICY HUMMUS AND VEGETABLES

Steps:

• For the Flatbread: In an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, combine the yeast, sugar and water. Mix for 1 minute on low speed and let sit until the mixture just begins to bubble. Attach the dough hook and add the flours and salt to the yeast mixture. Mix until it forms a mass, the dough should be sticky. Continue to add additional flour, if necessary, until the surface is dry enough to handle and dry enough to roll. Divide the dough into pieces, roll into balls and lightly brush with oil. Place on a floured surface and cover the balls with plastic wrap and a clean cloth and let proof for 2 hours at room temperature or place on a lightly greased baking sheet, cover and let proof overnight in the refrigerator. To form flatbread pat each piece of dough out into a 5-inch disk and sprinkle liberally with flour. Roll each disk on a floured surface into a 10-inch diameter circle. Puncture the dough liberally with a fork to keep it from rising. Grill or bake each on a pizza stone or a lightly greased sheet pan for about 5 minutes at 425 degrees F. until dough starts to get crisp on the edges but still remains chewy. For the Spicy Hummus: Place chickpeas, garlic, chipotle puree, lemon juice and tahini in the bowl of a food processor and process until smooth. With the machine running, slowly add the olive oil until emulsified. Season with salt and pepper. For the Vegetables: To assemble and bake: Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Top each pre-baked flatbread with the spicy hummus. Arrange any or all of the veggies on top of the hummus. Season with salt, pepper and ancho powder. Place the bread back in the oven and bake for 5 minutes to heat through. Remove and add olives, goat cheese and fresh basil. Cut into small squares and place on a platter.

EASY GLUTEN-FREE BUCKWHEAT FLATBREAD

Steps:

• Combine all dry ingredients in the measuring cup, and fill it to the 1 cup mark, halfway up.
• The exact proportions of buckwheat, flax and the other seeds are quite flexible, as long as you combine them up to the 1-cup mark.
• Carefully fill the cup with water up to the two cup mark, and pour in the olive oil and the apple cider vinegar.
• Stir all ingredients slowly and thoroughly, making sure to get to the bottom of the cup.
• Let it soak for at least two hours on the counter, or soak overnight to bake it in the morning. You will know it is soaked enough when the seeds are filling the cup to the top.
• When you are ready to bake, preheat oven to 350.
• Place the silicon mat on a metal baking tray and either spray or wipe with oil to prevent sticking. Flax is really sticky, so nothing but silicon will work without a huge mess.
• If you used all whole grains and you prefer it less grainy you can blend some of the mixture in blender or magic bullet and stir it back inches.
• If you want to add a flavor, like oregano, rosemary, chopped olives, sesame, poppy seeds, caraway seeds, dried onion, etc. stir them in now.
• Using a spatula, spread the mixture to an even thickness on the mat, going nearly up to the edges.
• Bake the flatbread, keeping an eye on it once half an hour has passed. Depending on how hot your oven and how thick your mixture, it may take longer to bake, possibly up to 15 minutes longer.
• Once it is done, use your rubber egg lifter as a slicer to divide it into squares before it cools. Never use a metal knife on silicon mats, as they have fiberglass inside.
• The squares can also be left out to dry to make crackers.
• The flatbread squares can be used as a substitute for toast, for bread, and as a base for bruschetta, garlic bread, and pizza.
