quinoa and chia seed flat bread quirky cooking cookbook
« on: May 13, 2014, 04:15:37 am »
I made these this morning. So easy and really tasty! I was surprised by their soft texture. Mine only needed 20 min. would be great with soup, dip or with some fillings for lunch :)

I made these yesterday and they were nice.  I found that I needed to add more water than the recipe as I couldn't get the quinoa and the chia seeds to grind up. I also didn't read it properly when putting it on the tray and so on one tray I had no oil and the other oil. Made them both taste very different. I like the fact that I can have a flat bread that isn't wheat or yeast based.  Will definitely make again.

I've made these (using recipe from book and/or blog) several times and love them, but have had a slightly different result each time!
I ways grind wet quinoa, because I'm not organised enough to have it soaked and dried before using! Grinding the wet quinoa with the chia involves lots of scraping down. One time I forgot to grind before I added the water. It worked but not as broken down , but less scraping down required! So next time I did the quinoa/ chia grind with some of the water but not all, which worked quite well.
I generally use this as my gluten free pizza base. The first time I didn't realise it should make two so it was one big pizza, which was quite a mouthful!! Much happier with it when I split it over two trays - pliable , delicious, and versatile.
I got a bit too clever one time and wanted to cook on a pizza stone. The flatbread was cooking beneath my fingers as fast as I was trying to pat it out!! Ended up with a slightly odd texture on that occasion, so I will stick to my standard cold trays next time ;)

Would be interested in adding some garlic or other flavourings to the mix too...

It's Monday and I now have the book. I'm not sure where to start. I also bought the Raw book as I didn't have it. I'm glad I did.

Mom, wish I ordered myself.  I went through a consultant I found at a fair recently.  Am eagerly waiting with all the wonderful reviews.
Ordered one for MIL for a Mother's Day gift also, lol.

I have made these many times from the blog. Love them. Always use the wet method. I dislike the roasted quinoa. I cook them on baking paper in a preheated pizza oven for 2 mins each. I allow 5 mins preheating for each flatbread before cooking.

I don't add oil to the baking paper - might cause a fire. I make about 10 small flatbreads. Lovely and soft to use as a wrap. They freeze very well with paper between the layers and thaw out in minutes. Can really recommend them.
