Hi Kristin: The crust came out very well, but I wanted to ask what toppings would you suggest for this flatbread? We just put some cheese on it, but wanted to try something different next time. Thank you.
Hi, Alice! Thank you for visiting. I’m so happy you enjoyed it. 🙂 This flatbread does extraordinarily well with roasted peppers, caramelized onions and anything with a slightly smoky flavor. I also really like it hummus and fresh greens like arugula. I hope this helps!
Do you think mung beans or adzuki can be used in place of lentils? Thanks
Yes, while I haven’t tested it, I think any type of cooked bean would work just fine as a replacement in the same ratio. I hope this helps!
