I have fallen in love with those new somewhat-flatbreads known as sandwich thins or sandwich flats. When I saw Two Peas and their Pod's honey-wheat bread, I decided that might make a delicious first try. After the first batch, I'm excited - the sandwich flats were just the right size, and I only have to get the seedy top and fork holes worked out .
Above, you see how I love to make those super-sandwiches! This one has a little mayonnaise, sliced basil leaves, grape tomatoes, usually smoked turkey or cheese ( or both!), and some fresh pepper -plus a nasturtium blossom, which is deliciously spicy.Obviously, the options are endless, including mini-pizzas the perfect size for children.
I cut the recipe in half, and that made 13 sandwich flats.
Two Peas and Their Pod Honey-Wheat Bread:
In mixer bowl, mix:
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1 packet of dry yeast ( rapid rise)
1 1/4 cups warm water
Let mixture sit for 15 minutes.
Then add:
3 T. canola oil
3 T. honey
1 t. lemon juice, fresh
good pinch of salt ( actually, several pinches, first batch needed more salt)
2 cups whole wheat flour
Mix well, switch to dough hook, and knead for about 10 minutes.
Sprinkle 2 cookie sheets with oats. Set aside.
Taking a small ball of dough, roll into a perfect ( or imperfect), circle. Place on baking sheets as you roll them out.
Continue making circles until dough is gone.
Place sheets in an unheated oven for about 20-30 minutes. They will not rise very much at all.
Remove sheets from unheated oven.
Preheat oven to 350F.
Mix a tablespoon of water and a tablespoon of honey in a small cup, brush flats with mixture.
Sprinkle with some sesame seeds, oats, and/or sunflower seeds, or whatever you prefer.
Prick flats well all over.
Slide first sheet into oven, bake approximately 20-25 minutes, then bake the second sheet.
Remove from sheets to cooling rack. Let cool completely before packaging in zip bags and freezing.
Enjoy !

That sandwich looks so good. I could use one of them right now! :-)
Thanks, Tea! Oh, so good, though it needed more salt ( I just edited the post to include that notation) -
These sandwich flats are so much fun to build a sandwich on! Delighted you enjoyed.
LOVE your sandwich flats! I am going to try these next time with my recipe. Great adaptation! Glad you liked them!
Thanks, Maria - and thanks for the recipe! Still tinkering on the tops of them, but very pleased with the result!
These are wonderful!
Thanks,Nana! These were great fun to make, and I imagine several variations will be forthcoming:)
These look great. Just one question: do you slice these in half to make the sandwich?
Revjen - yes. They're a little thicker than pita or naan, so you can slice and have two sturdy pieces to build a sandwich on.
1) I love those sandwich thins!
2) I already printed the bread recipe from when it was posted, so this is perfect!
Great , Amanda! Tonight I'm going to try a multi-grain recipe for my mother, who doesn't tolerate 100% whole wheat - the recipe is so easy to work with, I'm delighted!
That is lovely and original. The fact that it looks like a huge chocolate chip cookie makes it a winner with kids, me thinks! ;)
Hmmmm, I guess if I take off my glasses it would look a little like a choco chip cookie, - but without chips. I do think the size would be a huge hit with kids, though!
