I have been experimenting with flat breads to replace bought dry biscuits. The spin off is that I have made a flat bread that will replace the dry biscuits, but also serve as a crisp base for a snack or light entree. Makes 12 to 24 depending on size.
Set oven at 220 o C
300g. bread flour
2 teaspoons of instant yeast
4 Tablespoons of olive oil
150mls of warm water
for topping... any of the following
oil infused with garlic
salt flakes
Herbs , fresh or dried
seeds of choice, example poppy, sesame
Parmesan cheese
Place all bread ingredients in bowl of TMX and knead for 3 mins.
Leave in warm spot to double. (20/30 mins.)
Tip on to lightly floured bench and divide into 12 or 24 pieces.
Roll with a rolling pin or with a pasta machine into thin ovals.
Place on lined oven tray and brush with oil or water and sprinkle with topping.
Seeds and herbs can be rolled into dough.
Bake for 10/15 mns, until showing some brown patches.
Cool on wire rack and store in an air tight tin.

Chookie they look great, what a brilliant idea. You are always coming up with something new from a basic bread dough.
-
Judy, so easy, I'm going to get the GC rolling when they come to stay for the school hols.
-
These look superb Chookie.
-
These look amazing Chookie. Great for TMX dips. Thanks
-
They look lovely - I think they might be just the thing to christen my new toasted sandwich maker with.
-
Marina, let us know how they go. I heated some up in those little toaster bags. good.
Cookie, yes good for dips, we road tested them with dips. good
CC , have a go, very easy and rise fast because of the extra yeast.
I am going to roll some out and cut them with a round biscuit cutter. May not have to spend $3 for a small packet of crackers. Will let you know.
-
I'll let you know how they go, Elizabeth - probably this time next week as I won't be able to make them until this weekend.
-
You are soooo clever, Chookie! Great idea for picnic or lunch box.

Thought you might like to look at my savoury flat bread recipe..just posted it today…(I think…it is all starting to blurr together!)
-
After DD complaining not have enough in her lunch box for vacation care, this morning I made this. Half with bigger size and the rest are baby size. Put different topping and turn out soooo good, like mini crispy pizza. Will upload photo soon.
I'm having a piece (dried basil and salt) for my breakfast now ;D
-
Denzelmum, so good to have feed back, especially with the smaller ones for the kiddies and the interesting toppings. Looking forward to photo. ;D ;D ;D
-
Tenina, love the look of your flat breads, will certainly make some, because the recipe is not the same. Hope you don't think that I pinched your name "savory Flat Breads'. I just made it up, as one does. ;D By the way love your Blog.
-
Chookie would love to hear how they work as crackers. We get through loads of crackers, ds has them everyday in his lunchbox and we often have dips and cheese & crackers.
I am after a good recipe so I dont have to keep buying packahed goods.
Hally :)

Only two left tonight... more like crackers, would be quite nice plain to serve with dips. Here are photos from this morning - parmesan, rock salt, pesto, basil and rock salt, pesto and soy rasher, tomato paste and soy rasher.
-
Denzelmum, these look great. Like the variety. Any favorites ? Did you just sprinkle on top or roll them in ?
-
I sprinkle on top - seems the family enjoy them all! I just use what ever I have on hand. Thanks again for sharing the recipe, this would be regular in our house.
-
They look really tasty. I must get my act into gear and make some.
-
It is raining this morning, so couldn't go into the garden, so fiddled with this recipe. very good result, made 100 small cracker type biscuits with many different toppings, Inspired by Denzelmum. Will post as a different recipe, under Cracker Biscuits.
-
You are very productive! I'm looking forward for you new recipe, Chookie.

Made these to go with a dip for Saturday. I put them through the pasta machine (how easy is that) so they turned out more like crackers. If I wanted them to put toppings on and not for a dip, I would roll them out by hand a bit thicker I think. Some are rather too big for a cracker but they can be broken into rustic pieces. I brushed them with garlic infused olive oil and sprinkled with Nigella seeds, sesame seeds or Himalayan salt. I am going to include some salt in the recipe next time.
Now, what to do with them to ensure they are crunchy for Saturday. Chookie said I could freeze them and freshen them up in the oven on the day but mine are so crisp now I think I will risk leaving them in an airtight container. Has anyone kept theirs for 5 days and what do you think Chookie?
As an afterthought, I decided to lightly vacuum seal some of them ie not suck all the air out and crush them to death ;D It may help keep them crisp.
-
I've been meaning to make these for weeks now but still haven't got around to them. Everytime I see an image of them I think how appetising they look.
I've already commented on the new, youthful looking JD in another thread!
-
Wow, look at you Judy. Very smart ;D ;D ;D
If they are very crisp , put them in an air tight tin. If they go soft , pop them in the oven. When i made the first batch, we broke them to eat with dips.
-
Thanks Chookie, mine will have to be broken in bits as well.
-
Hally made these today and hers look just like mine. By the way, mine are 4 days old and are still as crisp as they were the day I made them - have kept them in a tin.
-
Thanks chookie & JD.
Thess are so easy to make and taste so good with dip, i had to control myself. I added some herbs as they were left over from my marinade, just brushed top with oil to go with dip.
H :)
-
Judy and Hally, so glad you like them. I am thinking of making some to put in Xmas hampers. Judy good luck for tomorrow.
-
Wow girls your flat breads look as good as bought.
-
Thankscookie, they taste great too
H ;D
-
This kind of bread I can actually make! So easy with the pasta machine, I think #3 or #4 is a good thinness.
A few different flavourings I tried:
Cracked black pepper, lemon myrtle & sea salt
Sweet paprika, sumac & sea salt
Poppy seeds & onion flakes
Sesame seeds & dulse flakes
Fresh rosemary & sea salt
Too much taste testing, no dinner for me.
-
Vivaroo, great combinations.
-
Lots of brilliant ideas here - thank you!
JB
-
They're all gone! I left the container alone for less than an hour and now have crumbs >:( >:( >:(
-
Viv, must be OK then?
-
I made some of these the other day and used spelt flour. I had top add a little more water . I made 48 smaller ones and rolled them really thin, put fork marks on them to stop them rising and sprinkled a little sea salt on them. They were lovely, the texture of the spelt flour added a little something.
-
Cookie i think Spelt would be great for these. Thank for posting, will try next time , with Spelt.
-
Put these on your Christmas hamper list of ideas girls - they go down really well.
-

The breads look fantastic, Hally!! Excellent idea to use the pasta machine!! (which should be arriving shortly from PoK ;D ;D) . . Thanks for that!! :D

Have just made a bread salad that these would be good in. It is from'Jerusalem'. The stale bread is torn into pieces and cooked in a little oil and butter with chopped almonds and when cool, added to the salad.
-
Thank you chookie, cookie & GF.
Tasted fantastic both ways.
Decided that rolled through the pasta machine win, they are crispy crispy cispy :)
Will look for that Jerasulem recipe :)
