Ingredients

Spelt flour:

• I used whole wheat spelt flour, which makes the bread hearty and really satisfying.

Toppings:

• The adult topping version: goat’s cheese, fresh figs, thin salami slices, and caramelized hazelnuts. A real delight!
• I loved every bite of them (I had two before I knew it), the sweetness of the figs, the spiciness of the salami, the aroma of the goat cheese, the creaminess of the cream cheese, the bread’s heartiness and the hazelnut’s crunchiness.
• An explosion of taste in the mouth, everything blending in perfectly, oh, I just loved it…
• Children’s version: salami, grated cheese, sliced red peppers, and spring onions.
• I liked this simpler version as well. Something less original but still full of flavor and risk-free.
• It actually tasted a lot like pizza and that made my kids really happy. Especially my boy. I think he showed me thumbs up at least 10 times while eating and told me that I definitely have to make these again.

How to make the bread?

• Making flatbread is always easy and this recipe is no exception.
• Another bonus, you will not need any yeast.
• Mix together the spelt flour and the salt in a medium bowl or in the food processor.
• Add the water little by little and knead until everything comes together.
• Turn the dough on a lightly floured surface and knead until the dough is smooth.
• Form a ball and wrap in plastic foil. Leave to rest for 1 hour.
• When the resting hour is up, divide the dough into 6 balls.
• Flour the working surface lightly.
• Flatten each ball a little and roll it very thinly in the form of a flatbread.
• Place the flatbreads on trays lined with baking paper.

How to bake?

• You can either bake the spelt flatbread as it is now, which is without any toppings.
• In this case, sprinkle the bread lightly with some olive oil, a little coarse sea salt and maybe some rosemary, fresh or dried.
• Check after about 10 minutes already, the bread should have a nice color and slightly crispy edges.
• Or you can add the toppings and then bake the bread.
