Flat bread
Flat bread with hemp seeds and spelt flour is a quick, wholesome bread baked in a hot pan. The Thermomix TM7 grinds the hemp seeds fresh, mixes and kneads the dough to a supple consistency, and weighs every ingredient directly in the bowl. Ideal as a side with soups or for wraps at lunch.
About this recipe
Flat bread with hemp seeds and spelt flour is a recipe that the Thermomix TM7 handles beautifully from start to finish, making it a favourite for quick weeknight dinners and casual lunches alike. This soft, pliable flat bread comes together without yeast or rising time, relying instead on baking powder for lift and olive oil for suppleness, which means you can have warm homemade bread on the table in very little time. What makes this version special is the combination of wholemeal spelt flour for a rustic, nutty depth and freshly ground hemp seeds, which release their earthy aroma the moment the all-in-one kitchen machine pulverises them. Searching for easy flat bread recipes with spelt or hemp seeds usually leads to dense or crumbly results, but the TM7 kneads the dough to exactly the right consistency, so every round stays flexible enough for wraps and dips. Serve these flat breads alongside soup, hummus or a fresh salad, or use them as a base for quick pizzas. They are vegetarian, freezer-friendly and endlessly adaptable, making them a reliable staple in any weekly menu.
Preparation tips
- Grind the hemp seeds finely before adding the flours, as whole seeds tend to slip out of the dough. Freshly milled seeds also release a nuttier aroma that carries through the finished flat bread.
- Let the spelt dough rest briefly after kneading so the wholemeal flour absorbs the water fully. This short rest makes rolling out the flat breads much easier and prevents them from shrinking back in the pan.
- Roll each flat bread evenly thin and cook them in a lightly oiled hot pan. Keep cooked breads wrapped in a clean tea towel so they stay soft and pliable until serving, and reheat leftovers briefly in a dry pan.
Recipe variations
- For a gluten-free version, replace both spelt flours with a gluten-free bread flour blend and add a little psyllium husk for flexibility. The hemp seeds and olive oil keep the flavour and softness intact.
- For a festive autumn variation, add warming spices such as ground cumin and a pinch of chilli to the dough, and top the cooked flat breads with a brush of garlic olive oil and fresh herbs before serving.
