Almond Flatbread

Ingredients

• 6 ounces all-purpose flour
• 6 1/2 ounces whole wheat flour
• 2 1/4 teaspoons salt
• 1/2 tablespoon dry yeast
• 1 1/8 cups lukewarm water
• 1 1/2 ounces ground toasted almonds

Directions

1. 1

   In mixer bowl, stir together 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, 3/4 cup whole wheat flour, salt and yeast. Add water; mix at low speed with paddle for 2 minutes. Add remaining whole wheat flour; mix at medium speed until blended. Add remaining all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup at a time, until soft dough forms. (You may not need to add all the all-purpose flour; dough should be soft but not sticky.).

2. 2

   With dough hook, knead dough at medium speed for about 8 minutes or until elastic. Form dough into ball and place in lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap; let rise in warm place until doubled in bulk.

3. 3

   Remove plastic; punch down dough with your fist. Cover and let rise 30 minutes more.

4. 4

   Heat oven to 400 degrees F.

5. 5

   Divide dough into 6 pieces; form each piece into a ball. Cover with a towel and let rest for 5 minutes.

6. 6

   Roll 1 piece of dough as thin as possible. With your hands, lift and stretch dough as thin as you can without tearing, rotating dough as you work, until round is about 8 inches in diameter. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon almonds, pressing them in gently. Repeat with remaining dough to make 6 rounds.

7. 7

   Place rounds on baking sheets; bake for about 10 minutes or until brown in spots. Cool on rack.
