Flaxseed Flat Bread
 

My goal is to always create recipes that use as few ingredients as possible. So here's my bread recipe.

I make a flat bread out of ground flaxseed and chia - though you can leave out the chia if you want. I just make one slice at a time because that's all I eat for lunch, but it would be easy to double or triple up.

2 TBSP of ground flaxseed
2 TBSP of water
1 tsp of chia (optional)

Mix, and place in the fridge to set - it starts out very liquidy, but it will firm up. I mix it at breakfast time, and finish it up at lunchtime - but you don't have to wait that long.
So when I am ready to make my lunch, I spread out the thickened mixture on parchment paper into a rough square, and microwave for 2 minutes. Place it on a rack to cool a few minutes, and my slice of bread is ready to make into a sandwich, or roll it up with a tasty spread.

i imagine you could substitute almond meal for a different taste. I like this as a base for melted cheese and tomatoes or nut butters. I never thought to put it in the fridge first. I usually just microwave as soon as ingredients are blended.

Catherine, this is brilliant! I tried this out for my lunch, using the flaxseed and chia, but I ground both together. I like the look of yours better, with intact chia seeds, so I'll do that next time. Also, I didn't have parchment paper, so I oiled a salad plate and patted the "dough" into a thin layer in it, then microwaved. I was afraid it would stick, but it didn't and came out intact onto a paper towel to cool. I filled it with some egg salad and shredded romaine and it made a delicious, easy lunch. I really do get tired of salads for lunch all the time in the summer.

Hi Catherine..this looks great...will try it for sure

A blend of almond meal and flax is really nice too.......
