Try our nutritious sprouted lentil flatbreads with a saffron yogurt dip. A healthy, fiber-rich twist on homemade bread with vibrant flavors.
Ingredients
- • sprouted lentils: 1 cup
- • whole wheat flour: 1 cup
- • water: 1/2 cup
- • fresh parsley, chopped: 1/4 cup
- • fresh dill, chopped: 1/4 cup
- • olive oil: 2 tablespoons
- • garlic powder: 1 teaspoon
- • salt: 1/2 teaspoon
- • black pepper: 1/2 teaspoon
- • plain Greek yogurt: 1 cup
- • saffron threads: a pinch
- • lemon juice: 1 tablespoon
Instructions
- 1 Start by preparing the saffron yogurt dip. In a small bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, saffron threads, and lemon juice. Stir well and let it sit in the fridge to allow the flavors to meld while you prepare the flatbreads.
- 2 In a food processor, combine the sprouted lentils and water. Pulse until you achieve a smooth, batter-like consistency. This will be the base for your flatbreads.
- 3 In a large mixing bowl, combine the lentil mixture with whole wheat flour, chopped parsley, chopped dill, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until a cohesive dough forms.
- 4 Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Divide the dough into four equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball, then flatten into a disc about 1/4 inch thick.
- 5 Cook each flatbread in the skillet for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Adjust the heat as necessary to prevent burning.
- 6 Remove the flatbreads from the skillet and let them cool slightly. Serve warm with the saffron yogurt dip.
Serving Suggestions
- • These flatbreads pair beautifully with a vibrant green salad, featuring mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, and a light vinaigrette. For a heartier meal, serve alongside a bowl of Moroccan-inspired vegetable stew. A refreshing mint and cucumber lemonade would make an excellent beverage pairing, offering a cooling contrast to the earthy flavors of the flatbreads. A sprinkle of fresh herbs on top of each flatbread adds a touch of freshness and visual appeal.
Storage Tips
Store any leftover flatbreads in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To maintain their texture, reheat flatbreads in an oven preheated to 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes before serving. The saffron yogurt dip can be stored in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Stir well before serving to ensure an even distribution of flavors.
