Deb, I tried to make the rosemary gruyere sea salt crisps but the dough was far too dry to hold together. They were amazing!!! Im just wondering if my measurements resulted in a higher dry to liquid ingredient ratio than yours (due to flour measuring, flour brand, etc). I do like the rosemary, but my hubby isnt a huge fan, so I might try oregano or some type of seeds next time. Tons of tarragon and thyme. I cut them into cracker size with a pizza cutter before baking. thank you. Super good! Ive taken to doing other flavorings as well. Ive been reading a lot of recipes (not a hardship) and will be trying a lot of new things (shakshuka is scheduled for the week after next). Lift flatbread onto prepared baking sheet. Amazing. The humidity today is >65% so if there are any leftovers (I always make a double batch) they get popped into the toaster. Just oiled cold tray is fine. I adore rosemary and flat bread so will have to try this version. Served with chips or baked chips (150/100 cal) and a pickle (5 cal). Believe it or not, Ive never brushed them with olive oil, and they are still delicious. TASTY! I wouldnt want those flavors cropping up in my dessert pastries in the event I couldnt wipe all the residue off. A heartier flour or more dry climate could affect it though. I am giving it a try with dried figs mixed into the dough and serve it with some cheese. Made this last night for bunco the girls were impressed. $15.08+. I used 100% freshly milled wheat, a mixture of both soft white and hard red. The photos are gorgeous. So just a little confused about the baking pan do you use two? I already devoured half the loaf with nothing but plain feta cheese and I think I might go for the second half, given that the flatmate already had dinner and the boyfriend is not going to be around for 3 more hours. They are so easy and the result so wonderful, even many days later, that you cant not make them. [Note: These crackers got some fresh photos in 2019 because the 2008 ones were awful. Ive made it a few times now. Holy yum! This is really easy recipe. Served with blue corn chips and salsa. I even tried using 1 for 1 gluten-free flour and sesame seeds for a batch. After kneading, it was still on the dry side, but came together enough to roll out into the rounds. Thanks for the recipe!! For on-the-go families, Jason's Deli created an even quicker option in the form of Jason's Express. Fantastic recipe. And super easy to make, too! We got back from a weekend away and the last thing I felt like doing was cooking, but after seeing your beautiful pictures and reading your blog, I just had to make this! Deb to the rescue yet again! I made these a couple of weeks ago and they were fantastic! Was it browned when you took it out? I noticed on the web that another person had same experience and added an egg. ive decided i like it better rolled out not as thin, because then its sort of more bread-y and soft but still crisp around the edges. I was serving ratatouille tonight, and didnt have time to make fresh bread these were the perfect solution, as they were done in 20 minutes, and everyone loved them. I made a double batch last fall, baked up half the rounds for a baby shower, then came home and baked up the second half for myself! The second round is baking now with cinnamon sugar on top :) Thank you again, LOVE your site. This would make a great addition to a summer BBQ. Kim Only one of mine bubbled up and it was the thinnest one so maybe not rolling them out quite that much will help keep the bubbles from forming? Had to half it because I didnt have enough flour, but it came out great. Yum!!!!!! Tip: The dough is very moist with oil, (it keeps it from being sticky) I covered my rolling pin with several revolutions of plastic wrap and it rolled out beautifully. Thank you for sharing this one, I have tried a few others but this is the best! I think youre going to have quite a few new fans, Deb! Yummmm just made these today on Australia Day Havent tasted the other two yet, but what an easy dinner! I like everyone else posted here really enjoy this blog, but can I suggest something. I promised the family homemade pizza last night, but didnt realize I was out of yeast, and I didnt want to go back to the store. check. I used a baking stone and loved it. I had no idea it is so easy to make! Thanks, Deb! Thanks from a lazy baker. Way tastier and healthier than store-bought crackers or snacks. Mine were too hard. Cover with wax paper and roll very lightly and gently to thin just a tad. Ive been using this recipe for pizza for a couple years. I just made these, with 3/4 cup of whole wheat flour. Ill be checking here daily! This Bread is lovely!and unbelievably simple. I am going to a Cheese Club. Maybe because they are gf, they were hard for me to roll without them sticking to the rolling pin and hard to transfer to baking sheet. Would you please forward the Herb Spread Recipe from 2007 Gourmet if you still have it. this is getting made, tonight, to go along with that end of summer bounty thats been piling up in my vegetable crisper- diced cucumber, radish, carrot, cherry tomtoes and feta, all tossed with plenty of scallions, parsley, olive oil and lemon juice. Got all of them on at the same time. Thanks for sharing. I made this today. Cant wait to see what you used yours to scoop up. I fit mine one one, barely, but you might need two. You inspired her (Justopia) to make it and now Im going to try the recipe tomorrow. Maybe adding cinnamon & sugar, instead of salt + rosemary, will make for a good sweet alternative of this incredible recipe!!! Convection oven turned out better than coventional, for me. My Pinterest board is full of your recipes! Too bad Im not at home, where we have a huge rosemary bush. Very good, but I overbaked the edges. I really love it. It turned out fabulous. Had it with Italian Wedding Meatball soup and my children and husband loved it. Great thank you! I made these today for the man , I tried brushing them with my Garlic infused Rice Bran oil [my favorite kitchen commodity], and the slight hint was great. I made this flatbread also and youre right it is sooooo delicious. Bon appetit/Smacznego! Half of them I sprinkled parm cheese and the other half I made exactly as written. To Deb: It was brown around the edges. So I swapped the rosemary for basil and added a bit of honey to pair with the nectarine-basil salsa. Its great to have those who have gone before! It was great for an appetizer and inspired me to make up some new toppings. Made these over the weekend with dried dill weed! AND IT WAS STILL PHENOMENAL! I have never made bread before and I saw that someone had made a comment that this was a great recipe to try for someone scared to try to make bread. We still occasionally have them for dinner (we were on a real kick in those days) and wonder what surprises the next day will bring. I had to add extra oil and water. I made these Sunday night following the recipe to a t. I have experimented with many different flatbreads trying to find a light and crispy one for a pizza and this indeed was finally it! I cant wait to try more toppings, maybe flax/sesame seeds? Those among us that have actually tried the recipes share their experiences. I tried this w Bobs Red Mill baking flour. Thanks! I have to post that I love this recipe. They are phenomenal and impressed the heck out of everyone. Oh, Deb, you sweetheart youve taken care of this for me, now! :). With the flaky salt on top, its just a bit much (though obviously not unenjoyable). Very fun! Hmmmm. I love these! Served with a cup of au jus. Thank you, Well. I have had this recipe bookmarked for a long time and finally made it today. I was just out in the garden, frankly a little POd that EVERYTHING I PLANTED SUCKS, except for the lovely rosemary and a little basil. Hoping to make them this weekend!! Grilled, 100% antibiotic-free chicken breast, sliced avocado, lemon crema, chipotle aioli, jalapeno pepper jack, pickled red onions on a traditional Mexican-style roll. So we made flatbread pizzas! I should have increased the salt a bit too. Ill continue making this flatbread and try other variations of it. Thank you for sharing a great recipe! Lightly brush tops with additional oil and scatter small clusters of rosemary leaves on top (if using), pressing in slightly. Just an fyi from Canada. Ill be giving this a try soon. Thats GORGEOUS! It has been a MAJOR crowd pleaser and its so easy! with cracked black pepper. I rolled the dough out on foil instead of parchment & kept the lid on the grill while they cooked. This is going to be one of those recipes that you can adapt to whatever you need. So easy that i did a second batch without the herbs for the kids and for tomorrows kids pizza. Ive made this at least 10 times in the past 6 weeks since I discovered it. Great for lunch or as a starter. They just elastic themselves into a much smaller shrunken version of what I set on my cookie sheet. I mill my own, so the texture is much different than whole wheat thats been sitting on the shelf. Very good, and just as easy as you said! My pizza stone worked really well too, since I found myself without any parchment paper. Today was raining cats and dogs here in Puerto Rico,It was cold outside (Yes we think 70 degrees is cold) When I got home from work all I could think about was my frozen cream of tomato soup, The one I learned from you and I paired it up with this flatbread, I didnt make mine too thin I like em thick and they were perfect, Just the kind of comfort food I needed, Your blog never disappoints me, My next conquest is the challah wish me luck! BTW, I make mine on my pizza stone, works great! Ive made this heaps now, its now one of my stock recipes for those fun, lazy, nibbly evenings with friends. I didnt have rosemary, so I used some dry tuscan herbs, added some thyme and infused a touch of garlic into oil. Love, love, love this recipe! Just made this today, and it was amazing! I am visiting at least three bakeries every weekend trying to find rosemary bread, as it is simply my favorite! I just finished making this, and its delicious! Thanks for commenting! We cant stop eating it and have wowed family and friends when we serve it freshly made in a big Italian floral napkin-lined basket for people to break off pieces. Im quite intimidated by baking bread, but you make it look so flawless and easy!! i have a beach house come on over we will make a batch. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. Ill add this to my collection of take to work or share with friends recipes. & baked it as it was!! Heat oven to 450F. I like to roll dough as thin as I can so its a cracker like and crisp as possible. Does it have to be parchment paper? Ive made this recipe it was one of my best received homemade crackers and my sister proclaimed it her favorite cracker ever, just under goldfish, which I consider an achievement. It was really goood!! Mine came out great. Any ideas on how to amend recipe to become what I am looking for? Stir together flour, chopped rosemary, baking powder, and salt in a large, wide bowl. So I made these with fresh chives, a sprinkling of dried thyme, whole wheat flour, and a bit of extra sea salt, and served them with salmon ceviche, pickled tomatillos, and guacamole. Have searched the internet and cant find it. a friend of the family gave us a huge rosemary plant (that thankfully is actually lasting through all the snow here in brooklyn).and i cant stop using it in everything i make i just never tire of it! Thanks for the recipe my family gobbled it up in seconds! What did I do wrong? Solves the age-old question, What do we smear our goat cheese on? Is that not the age-old question? 1/2 pound of hot roast beef, provolone, mayo, toasted on New Orleans French bread. My sis just made this on her tv/website show! I let the whole thingbake a few more minutes. Please disclose where that was purchased. i love this recipe and so surprisingly simple! I just made these and they came out delicious! It turned out great. fairly recent to your blog, shared by my colleague and your fan. I plan to stop by the market to get an assortment of cheeses. Thanks again Smitten Kitchen! They cook really quickly on the grill. thanks! I just whipped these beautiful flatbreads out in about 15 minutes. Thanks so much, Deb! The one thing I would change next time is reducing the amount of table salt. Let me be the first to repent. Whipped these up in less than 10 minutes with fresh herbs from our garden and they were amazing as usual. Love it. So easy to make! Truly, its a small complaint because it is disappearing rapidlygotta run to get my share :). Aug 31, 2018 - We're not saying they're right. They baked really fast, even faster than 8 minutes when really thin. Ive challenged myself this season to *finally* start making some of these recipes I see and get inspired by. Then I spread the ricotta mixture on the bread and topped it with veggies. Or what else can I do? Ive wanted to do something similar for a while, but I keep saying later, later.now with a great looking recipe, I have no excuse to keep postponing it. As I rolled out the 2nd piece of the dough, preparing it for the oven, Just wanted to say thanks so much for this recipe. Also, because I cant resist a pun, I was putty in your hands when you said that it came together in 15 seconds flat. This is so easy and delicious, cant wait to make it again! YUM!! Made it as written and loved it! Always comes out great. ~Shes not that bright. I am making these right now. I just did a quick Google and the first recipe was just water, flour, and salt, and the second (Alton Brown) had an egg in it. This is my first time making any type of flatbread, so Im pretty happy with the result (and somewhat impressed with myself). Thanks. Flatbread is even better, as then I eat less of it! I brought them yesterday as an appetizer for Thanksgiving and served them with a goat cheese spread. In fact I tried to feed some to the ducks in the park, and they rejected it, I admit I was a little insulted. I will probably make them again, but will expect to serve them with something with more liquid to help offset the dryness. I cant wait for it to start at the end of October and for the season premiere I plan on making Football food. Cant wait! This took about two seconds to do, which is important when Im already exhausted from the amount of baking and dishes Ive done before breakfast, and came out deliciously. you are in for a treat!). your blog is fabulous, thanks for the endless inspiration! We made this last night but substituted Indian spices for the rosemary. Substituting honey for olive oil and putting in about a 1/3 cup of sunflower seeds and then sprinkling cinnamon sugar on top is awesome, too (if youre feeling adventurous; it tastes like a not-so-sweet cookie). Heavenly! Grilled, 100% antibiotic-free chicken breast, sliced avocado, lemon crema, chipotle aioli, jalapeno pepper jack, pickled red onions on a traditional Mexican-style roll. Ive made it lots of times just as it is written, but made it again today, subbing corn meal for about 1/3 of the flour to make a heartier, more corn-chip like cracker. Also its great idea to add some tomatoe sauce, fresh basil and mozzarella on the top and bake for 2-3 minutes more. I only get it when we eat out and the restaurant has it. Oh! ive made this twice now, and both times i forgot i was supposed to knead it, but i sort of massaged it in the bowl with a spatula until all the flour was incorporated. Served with blue corn chips and salsa. We loved it with our beef stew. This flat bread was a wonderful addition to the meal. Its the perfect thing to scoop any summer salad or vegetable dish, including the one Ill tell you about tomorrow (tease!). 1. And if there were ever a spread that could lift you from your love lifts us up where we belong drudgery, it would be that gorgeous herb-focused spread near the back of the issue. I am such a rosemary junkie, I think I have to try it it seems so completely approachable. <3. I made this last night- it was supposed to be a snack, but like Rachel, ended up being dinner! Hello! I think Ill try them with thyme next time. You dont ever need parchment paper, it just makes baking easier. I brought it to a family gathering and it disappeared in literally 15 minutes the whole batch! I think a dipping oil would work well as a topping too. An outstanding share! I havent but several commenters here have and say it worked just fine. Au coeur de la rgion Nouvelle-Aquitaine, la ville de Ustaritz tout comme les autres villes franaises disposent des solutions de dbarras de dchets encombrants. "Convenient and reasonable price overnight stay on drive to Spain. Running late to prepare for our guest, I trusted your advice that these could be made quickly and indeed they came together so well that I had time to make two batches one as written, and the other using thyme and black pepper in place of the rosemary. These are quicker, cheaper, and taste so much better. Cela contribue grandement la fire allure dont la ville affiche. (ingredients vary yeast, milk, butter). i had been trying Crisp Rosemary Flatbread when i read this post few days back and its amazing and my another favorite after soup. I havent frozen them but dont see why they wouldnt freeze okay. I automatically go to hummus or a bean salad, but this could be fun. Thanks Deb. Your email address will not be published. Its been ridiculously hot in Boston all week, so naturally I cranked up the oven in my not-air-conditioned oven and made them. Thank you. Thanks for the great recipe! I have been enjoying it all -even the burnt and saltless pieces- with home-made hummus and will definately make this agian. I did one batch with no brushed olive oil on top and they were indistinguishable from the ones with the brushed tops. I accidentally spread sugar over it instead of salt (or more cheese), I love the *idea* of this unfortunately I did not love the end result. The only thing I could think is that because Im in Florida, the humidity here means that I need to reduce the amount of water. Im just getting back to this since our last conversation; I thought if I went on and on about it, youd either get fed up with me and ignor my yammering or make them in defense! Im following the recipe but I get into a bit of trouble when I roll them out. is that easy?! Are you ever bowled over by how many people continue to find your recipes years after you posted them? I made this for a dinner this past weekend, with a little variation on seasonings. See more ideas about jasons deli, recipes, copycat recipes. I know, sounds like a lot of different flavors going on but it was delicious!!! I dont know what that dinner will be, but it will go with flatbread no matter what, because this sounds so yummy and easy. Always follow your directions to the letter because, well, you took the time to finesse the details. I made this for the first time today, and the flavor is delish!! It was perfect! $11.81 +. Ill give it another try soon! But I have a pretty exciting/daunting task ahead of me: stocking my very own kitchen! Thank you for these tips they helped immensely! I divided the dough into fours (to fit onto 2 baking sheets) and tried different seasonings on eachone with garlic salt/rosemary, one with fresh cracked pepper and parmesan folded in, one as written, etc. Thank you for the inspiration. 9 essential traits of a good husband. Heat oven to 450F. Avocado Toast. Well, that and the zucchini. And while the first batch had terrific flavor, it was not at all crispy and I had left it in for at least 20 minutes. OMG Im 9 years late to the party, but a friend just shared this page on Twitter last night. Very similar to a traditional bread my husbands family makes back in Lebanon. I was looking for something to make for tonight for the bf and myself. Akin to homemade cheese-its but glorious. Thanks, Yvonne, that was my question as well. Just made these and they are delicious, thank you so much for sharing! It was really easy to get them crispy in preheated cast iron! Oh boy! Stir together flour, chopped rosemary, baking powder, and salt in a large, wide bowl. They are dead simple and absolutely delightful. I also thought they could have used a little more salt or something as they were kind of floury and bland. It would be the perfect base for fresh Lettuce Salads with vegies and a vinegar/oil dressing !! It comes together in about 15 seconds flat, bakes in about 10 minutes and if you dont live in our apartment, will hopefully last a bit longer. Love this recipe (my sister also says it is her favorite cracker) and I love making it. I have a hard time putting more than one on the pizza stone at a time so have found that if you merely leave them on the parchment paper and heave the combo on the oven rack they bake just fine allowing me to make more faster! :) Thank you! I tried this a couple days ago. Notify me of follow-up comments by email. Thats what I need to go with it! Man oh man, came here and yes, of course, thats where I read it. I made them the night before and although they were kept in a Ziploc they lost a little bit of their crispness. I would eat it all! 43 followers. Perfect thing to go with my sisters homemade minestrone! It was wonderful. 502 reviews. Any thoughts on this? I may have gobbled it all up by tonight, it is so wonderful together, Thanks a lot for adding the weights, too, it makes it a lot easier for me *heart*. A definite keeper! It will most certainly be The Recipe of the Century!!! Made this for our Pandemic Thanksgiving brunch platter. $11.69+. Getting ready to make a double batch for a wine tasting we are hosting at home tonight. SO good with goats cheese. Ya know, I actually just used fresh rosemary for the first time the other day. Your photos are gorgeous and your recipe choices are wonderful. Ive been a devoted fan of this site for quite some time now and this is exactly why (oh and not to mention the amazing photography and witty writing)! These look delicious and shockingly easy! Very forgiving too. New 2019 notes: Over the years, Ive dropped a few things that are part of the original recipe: I prefer the flatbreads smaller (its a little easier to control their crisp and color), I dont roll it on parchment (I find it more annoying than facilitating, and the parchment often burned), and I skip the branches of rosemary on top. So good! Made it with part whole-wheat flour still yummy! Tonights menu was based on the need to use up a head of lovely fresh lettuce: I had a salad and Turkish spiced carrot fritters as well as the hummus and flatbread. Hi there, I served it as a starter with the goat cheese & olives from the same article and it was a real hit! Ive made it a teeny bit thicker so I could slice down the middle and insert a slab of butter Is that bad???!!! But in a word: dont! Paired well with the rest of my dinner tonight and I loved them! Love them I want to make more to play around with not only the spices but also flours I wonder if a GF version would be good? Like Amy, I used white whole wheat flour and it was delicious. Im pregnant, and have been in a baking mood lately. And he in fact ordered me dinner due to the fact that I found it for him lol. Reuben The Great (Manager's Special) A half sandwich served with your choice of a cup of soup, fresh fruit or Mac & Cheese. Repeat with remaining pieces of dough. Needed crackers for appetizers and did not want to deal with grocery store traffic on Christmas Eve, this is easy and tasty! Show Prices. I will be making this again and again! these couldnt be easier and are delicious. This looks yumm! Lightly coat a large baking sheet with olive oil. Im with you Kiki. Yum, yum. Delicious stuff and super satisfying to make. Nevertheless I am so grateful for this recipe, & THANKS A LOT for sharing!!! I was impressed with how easy it was to make these and that they came out so delicious! Ive been making these since you posted them and they are one of the easiest, most impressive and versatile snacks. I love your site! And yes, I did this on my pizza stone too. So, I am on it!! Quite good. Delicious! Also, maybe my oven runs low, but these took a good 15 minutes to get golden in color. Love the little sprigs of rosemary that are still clinging to the flatbread! You say to heat up one and then oil another? Ah, that was a mistake, now edited. Thank you random internet blogger, thank you. I tried this with 100% whole wheat flour, you know to feel less guilty about eating the whole thing! The soup was phenomenal, but these didnt turn out right. I just keep my eye on them and poke the bubbles with a knife so they deflate, but wondering if anyone knows a better way to prevent the bubbles from occurring at all? Is it possible to add weights? I still used parchment ..well wax paper as I didnt know how to get the rolled dough from the surface to the stone otherwise. What an absolutely wonderful and simple recipe. I made these and hummus (with the skins off of the beans, like Deb taught me). I added a lemon tahini sauce on top of each flatbread and then topped them with olives, onion, and mushroom and it made a very tasty elegant pizza. But it was so quick and easytonight:-). Were definitely going to do a pizza next. It looks like a keeper for my recipe file. I made this yesterday and thought it was really good, and just as easy as promised. Threw together this, Debs Silky Cauliflower Soup, and Debs Walnut Pesto in about 35-40min. :). I found the dough to be pretty dry and crumbly after the initial liquid/dry ingredient mix (like, I had a hard time getting all the flour mixed into the water/oil). Theres something intoxicating about the smell of freshly baked pastry. MMMMMMM looks delicious! ), and I have a question: In your fourth photo, is the dough depicted there post stir or post knead? Perhaps I didnt roll my pieces out thin enough, but I felt that this lacked flavor the texture was somewhat off it wasnt doughy enough for a lavash or true flatbread, but it wasnt crisp enough as a cracker. I always give it a fast knead (about 10 strokes) and then let it rest about a half an hour. Tried it with whole wheat flour this go round and its fine but a little too heavy for my taste. However, it didnt turn out as crispy in the center of the cracker as it did on the edges, so I obviously didnt roll it out thin enough??? A made another batch of the feta salsa (kept it pure this time) and followed the link to the flatbread. Delicious homemade flatbread, here I come! Its funny, because I was just wondering this weekend if there are any recipes out there for crackers. @Jenifer from Houston: I have a blue glass bowl like that and I got mine at Cost Plus, which I believe is called Cost Plus World Market in Texas. I think the altitude here in Mexico City might be a factor, but would that really affect a bread that doesnt rise? This was exactly what I needed to know. Picture this its nearing one am on Thanksgiving day and I have been making a baked feta recipe for not one but two different dinner and I realized that I didnt have enough pita chips for bothy houses! It was reminiscent of pie dough for me. The first ball was a little and not to crispy, so it was probably a couple of minutes underbaked. Had fresh rosemary from my garden. I totally love a good flatbread. Super easy. Thanks for inspiring me to try something new, smitten! This looks much quicker. : ). So glad my hubby discovered your site. Crispy, rich, abfab. You are right, the results are perfect. Are you serious!? And! and it was DELISH! I cant believe I didnt finish it all! It goes really great with some hummus (artichoke and spinach, anyone?). Now I cant stop eating these- please send help! Id bake it again but I managed to set off our WAAAY too sensitive fire alarm so I am a little nervous about that they werent even burning and only mildly browned! I discovered your website this morning, tackled the homemade marshmallows earlier today, started the dough for graham crackers, and was hungry/bored at about 11:00 tonight, so decided to see what other yummy recipes were on your site, and found the flatbread recipe by clicking Surprise Me a couple times Im eating it now lol! This inspires me. Since Ive started making these, I almsot never buy crackers at the store. I then happened upon this wonderful recipe. Perfect!! Just as promised, theyre strong enough to use for dipping and light enough that they eat like a cracker. Holy yum. This is a super recipe, the kind that you memorize, that becomes part of how you eat. I picked up some pretzel salt a while back and thats good on it too. I rolled them a little thick so they were like tiny 1/8 inch thick biscuits and my oh my they are delectable! Thanks! I didnt even brush olive oil onto the top. Make a well in center, then add water and oil and gradually stir into flour with a wooden spoon until a dough forms.
