FAQ
How many servings does this spelt flatbread recipe make?
The recipe makes 4 flatbreads, serving 2 people.
Is spelt flatbread gluten-free?
No. Spelt is a type of wheat and contains gluten, so this recipe is not suitable for people with coeliac disease or wheat allergy.
Can I use wholemeal spelt flour?
Yes, although the flatbreads may be denser. Add a little extra warm water if the dough feels dry.
How should the flatbread dough feel?
It should be soft and pliable, but not sticky. Add water gradually or dust with a little flour as needed.
Why does the dough need to rest?
A 15-minute rest allows the flour to hydrate and makes the dough easier to roll out.
How do I know when the flatbreads are cooked?
Cook them in a hot, dry pan for 1–2 minutes per side, until lightly charred and cooked through.
Can I make these flatbreads ahead of time?
Yes. Cool them, store them covered in the refrigerator, and reheat them briefly in a dry pan before serving.
Can I replace the herbs in the salad?
Yes. Replace the parsley or mint with other fresh herbs such as coriander, dill, or basil.
Is this recipe vegan?
It can be vegan if the hummus is made without dairy or other animal-derived ingredients. Check the product label if using store-bought hummus.
