Strawberry and Cream Flatbread Roll
By: Denise Browning, From Brazil To You
Yield: 1 roll
Even though a Linzer torte is technically an Austrian confection, named after the city of Linz, Austria, our Hungarian grandma always made one for the family at Christmas. It was a softly textured yet dense almond cake, that could be layered with apricot or raspberry preserves, and sometimes even chocolate. My grandma would make maybe a dozen different cakes, cookies, and other desserts for the holidays, all out of her tiny galley style kitchen that had light pink enamel kitchen cabinets. She worked so hard! She gardened, bowled, grew her own vegetables, picked and canned, washed her own laundry by hand, and made noodles from scratch. You bet she could eat all those desserts without the guilt.
Now that there’s flatbread, I try to recreate less guilt-inducing versions of my family’s desserts, especially since I have a washing machine, I don’t bowl, and my garden is not so great these days. Oh, well. (Grandma didn’t have a laptop computer, either, to distract her.)
Back to the flatbread dessert: I think we all know how hard it is to quell a sugar craving. It can be really, really bad when it hits, and one of my tricks is to make something that doesn’t count so badly against you. Flatbread certainly helps when the afternoon sugar craving hits. This quick little dessert roll up makes efficient use of small quantities of rich ingredients to pack a big punch! It shares well, too.
I know that, were my grandma still alive, I could make this for her and she would love it, even though I didn’t roll up the dough by hand. Tea would be poured, and we’d have a great conversation. Explaining to her what a computer was would take up half the day, for sure!

Thank goodness for avocados! So easy, so healthy, and you don’t even *really* have to worry about buying organic, either. I’ve heard a rumor lately that they even freeze well, which is intruiging, so I am going to try it, just as soon as I have a surplus of them in the house.
For the last several years, I have been making a simple and delicious guacamole by mixing some pico de gallo in with the avocados and that’s that. When I moved back to Chicago, this was easy, because all the little neighborhood carnicerias made their own pico and you could buy it rather than chopping all the peppers and tomatoes and onions. There was always one place in my neighborhood that made it insanely spicy, which I learned the hard way.
This recipe bakes flatbread chips that have been squirted with fresh lime juice and dusted with salt and chile powder before baking, which are delicious with your guacamole, or even bean dip. Kiss your regular chips goodbye, after making these flatbread chips. The flatbread is lower in carbs and whole grain, too. But you already know that!

The beauty of this recipe is that it is so completely simple, yet ingenious. Flatbread makes a good morning fabulous with its debut as French toast, filled with luscious nut butter and topped with fresh fruit. Watching what you eat, especially carbs, doesn’t mean you have to do without: let Flatout flatbread help you with that! Beat some eggs, heat up a pan, and let the high protein, low carb morning begin:

Turn on the oven and roll up some satisfaction with our new recipe for baked “drunken meat” wraps, filled with spiced ground beef and drowned in red sauce. Melted cheese takes these hearty, healthy rolled wraps up and over the top. Kid friendly, family friendly, potluck worthy, and no one would ever be the wiser that these….might not be bad for you. Grab some flatbreads and try them tonight! Our new video tells the ahogada tale:
Every month I have been trying to incorporate a dip recipe into the mix, so I have the excuse to bake up a bunch of flatbread chips in the oven, each batch flavored a different way. We are great noshers in our household. In fact, I think my better half, before we met, ate most of his meals standing up at the counter with the refrigerator door wide open, for light…when we met we had snacking in common, so we both love and appreciate the versatility (and low carb count) of flatbread chips. Season them, squirt some lime juice on them, bake them. Perfect for healthy snacking.
This simple chickpea spread is perfect to make in a hurry when you have the munchies and need some protein. It’s a dip that works perfectly with the richness of the parmesan cheese baked onto the flatbread chips, and gives a nice Italian flavor to the whole affair, too.
You’re gonna love it!
