Very easy to make and healthy, yeast free flatbread are perfect base for avocado toast or your favorite sandwich.
Bread is a primal food for most people, myself included. When I decided 14 years ago to give up yeast, bread was the hardest thing to say goodbye to. I now eat yeast occasionally, but I do need to have a regular bread fix like everyone else. Because of this, I’ve amassed quite a collection of yeastfree flatbread recipes. This one I found to be the easiest, most economical, and most delicious.
This oat flour flatbread is very easy and has only four ingredients. They’re yeast and saltfree, and gluten-free as well, and requires no special equipment or kneading. You can eat it as a breakfast bread or sandwich bread or with a meal. The texture is slightly chewy and dense, and they’re very filling and satisfying. Oat flour makes the flatbread slightly sweet and nutty. Its flavourful and doesn’t need any other flavouring.
So easy to make
Oat flatbreads are very easy to make. Ground the rolled oats and add them with the flour to a large mixing bowl. Stir until mixed and then add the wet ingredients. Stir gently but well until a firm yet soft dough is formed.
Once dough is formed, separate into two pieces. Roll out each to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut out flatbread with a 3 1/2-inch bowl or biscuit cutter. Place on a cookie sheet for baking.
Rolled out, the flatbread will look very thin. That’s fine, they bake up nicely and beautifully. Bake six at a time and turn once during baking. 
After flatbread is baked, use a serrated bread knife for slicing them. Take your time and slice very carefully. They are easy to cut but they’re very thin and you want an nice even, straight cut.
I love eating these for breakfast topped with avocado or almond butter and chia jam or fresh fruit. I usually make a whole batch and freeze them. They are amazing with anything topping and at anytime. Enjoy!
