Grandma Cora'S Flatbread
Grandma Cora's Flatbread offers a hearty, slightly sweet flavor with whole wheat and cornmeal, perfect for a casual family meal or a comforting snack.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Blend the dry ingredients: whole wheat flour, white flour, cornmeal, sugar, and soda.
- Cut in the margarine into the dry ingredients as in making pie crust.
- Add 1 cup of buttermilk to the mixture.
- Blend thoroughly but do not overmix.
Tips & Substitutions
For a nuttier flavor, consider substituting half of the whole wheat flour with spelt flour. If you prefer a vegan option, replace margarine with coconut oil and buttermilk with a plant-based milk mixed with a teaspoon of vinegar. To achieve a crispier texture, let the dough rest for 15 minutes before rolling it out.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Grandma Cora's flatbread warm with a side of hummus or a fresh garden salad for a light meal. It pairs beautifully with Sweet Onion Sandwich (Don't Miss This One) for a delightful lunch. You can also use it as a wrap for grilled vegetables or meats, making it a versatile addition to your meal.

Store any leftover flatbread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. For longer storage, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to a week. To reheat, place the flatbread in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 5-10 minutes until warmed through.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this flatbread gluten-free?
Yes, you can substitute the whole wheat and white flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Make sure the blend contains xanthan gum to help with texture. Adjust the liquid content slightly, as gluten-free flours can absorb more moisture.
How can I enhance the flavor of the flatbread?
To boost flavor, consider adding herbs like rosemary or thyme into the dry ingredients. You can also sprinkle some garlic powder or onion powder for added depth. A pinch of smoked paprika could give it a subtle smoky flavor that complements many dishes.
What are some good toppings for this flatbread?
This flatbread is delicious on its own but can be enhanced with toppings like olive oil and balsamic vinegar for dipping, or you can spread it with cream cheese and top with fresh vegetables. For a heartier option, add slices of smoked salmon or roasted vegetables.
