Garden flatbread seems to be a thing now; it’s all over social media. Veggies, herbs, seeds, fruits and cheeses are used to make grass, flowers, blooms, foliage, insects and birds. And when your flatbread is Chēbē, it’s gluten free and grain free, too!
Wouldn’t this be a great project for your kids? It’s easy to do! That’s up to you, but we suggest you let your creativity take over, and maybe you first search the web for some examples that catch your eye. And, if you end up with a masterpiece that looks too beautiful to eat, perish the thought! .… Just take a picture of it first (and post it on social media!).
If you don’t do eggs, Chēbē dough can be made with egg substitutes. We suggest aquafaba, but other replacers can do the job.
We used our Focaccia Mix on this one. Seasoned with rosemary and basil we love the flavor! However, any of our five savory flavors work great with this fun recipe!
