Date and Walnut Flatbread
- Yield: 8 servings
- Prep: 20 mins
- Cook: 10 mins
Ingredients
- 1cup all purpose flour
- 3tablespoons firmly packed brown sugar
- 3/4teaspoon salt
- 1/2teaspoon baking powder
- 1-- egg
- 1cup (4 ounces) finely chopped California walnuts
- 2cups (8 ounces) finely chopped California dates
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350F. Coat a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
-
In a large bowl combine the flour, brown sugar, salt and baking powder; stir and toss to combine the ingredients. Add the eggs and stir vigorously to blend; the dough will be very stiff.
-
Add the walnuts and dates and mix until thoroughly combined – this is easiest to do by working the dough with your hands. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently a few times, then pat and roll it into a 10-inch square about 3/8 inch thick. Cut the dough into four quarters and transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
-
Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and turn the squares of dough over with a spatula. Return to the oven and bake about 7 minutes longer, until they are just beginning to brown.
-
Transfer to racks to cool. Either slice or break into smaller pieces for serving.
