We packed up some flatbread mixes to take with us when visiting friends on Sunday. I normally reach for a plastic bag to store make-ahead mixes, but then I thought — why not a glass jar? As you may know, I’m on a mission to reduce my plastic use. This was a duh moment for me. I am prone to them, just ask my husband.
My friend wanted to learn how to make the flatbreads. I am sure she was pleasantly surprised that they’re as easy as pancakes! One of the jars I intended to leave with her for her to use during the week sometime; one jar we cooked up as part of our lunch menu; and the other jar is for me to use sometime during the week.
You could follow the recipe to fill these jars, but these pancake-style flatbreads almost need no recipe. Use 4 cups of various grains, one of which can be a rolled grain. The jars pictured contain 1 cup of sweet brown rice flour, 1 cup of buckwheat flour, 1 cup of sorghum flour, and 1 cup of quinoa flakes. I also added 1 teaspoon of sea salt.
When ready to make the breads, transfer the contents of the jar to a mixing bowl, add 4 to 5 cups of water, whisk together and then cook like pancakes. See the full recipe for more information.
If gift-giving (what a great gift for a gluten-free cook!), a pretty piece of fabric under the metal ring and a ribbon on top of it would make it so pretty.

Hey Wardeh! I reused two old glass mayo jars this evening and filled them with the mix! Can’t wait to cook them up!
