Substitutions and Variations

Honey - I have changed the amount of honey in this recipe many times. Sometimes I like the bread a little sweeter (around 1 cup of honey) or even a little less (¼ cup of honey)
Flour - Try it out using different types of flour. I use all purpose flour.
Vegan- You can substitute the egg for a vegan egg substitute and use vegan butter instead.

Equipment

You will need for this recipe:

Mixer - I use my Kitchenaid Mixer
Pan - Used to cook the flatbread dough.
Rolling Pin or Flat sided bowl- I have used both. This last time I used a bowl with flat sides because I was using a counter that would not have accommodated a rolling pin well.

Store cooled flatbread in an airtight container
Reheat briefly in a skillet or microwave
Freeze flatbreads with parchment between layers

They stay soft even after reheating, which makes them great for meal prep.
