So easy to make and incredibly flavorful, this Cumin Spiked Flatbread is sure to become a staple in your culinary repertoire, as it has ours.

In this flatbread recipe, very simple ingredients come together to provided the most delightful taste and texture.  The base of the bread, with just flour, baking powder, salt, and plant-based yogurt is really lovely as is, however the addition of the cumin seeds awakens the senses as you go in for each bite- the aroma and taste are magnificent!

The cumin seeds make this the perfect accompaniment to any Indian-inspired dish, like our Spinach, Pumpkin, and Red Lentil Dhal, but it can easily be transformed by substituting the herbs and spices used.  For example, we’ve tried mixing in minced garlic and chopped fresh rosemary in place of the cumin seeds and it was just as heavenly.

Flatbread is so versatile and can be used for a variety of purposes.  Honestly, it’s hard to avoid eating each one straight off the skillet, but if you can hold out they’re great served alongside soups, stews, and even for handhelds filled with your choice of vegetables and a sauce.  There’s so many possibilities.  We encourage you to get to know this recipe and try it out in a variety of ways.  Let us know what you think!
