Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 grams Rolled oats
- 200 grams All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 300 milliliters Whole milk
- 50 grams Butter (melted)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Pour the whole milk into the dry mixture, followed by the melted butter. Stir until you have a smooth, slightly sticky dough.
Divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Using your hands or a rolling pin, flatten each portion into a round disk about 1 cm (1/2 inch) thick and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Using a fork, gently poke a few holes into the surface of each disk. This prevents the bread from puffing up excessively during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the flatbreads are golden brown and cooked through.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. These breads are best enjoyed warm and can be paired with butter, cheese, or any spread of your choice.
