Tuscan-style Flatbread served with hummus and cucumbers for dipping.
Don’t let anyone fool you when they say that flour is flour. Wrong. I was that person who thought that all-purpose flour was, well, all-purpose flour — until just about 30 minutes ago, when I made the same flatbread that I made about a week ago with “All-Purpose Flour” with “Blue Bird Bread Flour” instead. The gates of heaven opened up and the angels sang. It was that good and that different! I’m a believer, now folks. So, when it comes to bread baking, it’s all about the flour, so don’t skimp – it’s totally worth getting the good stuff.
And here’s the recipe for the flatbread peeps! Recipe for the hummus coming soon.
