JUNIPER'S FLAX GARLIC ONION FLATBREAD

3 tablespoons flax meal, golden if possible 
1/4 teaspoon baking powder 
Pinch onion powder 
Pinch garlic powder 
Pinch salt, go easy on it 
1 tablespoon butter 
1 large egg 
1 tablespoon water


In a small bowl, combine the dry ingredients. In another small microwaveable bowl, melt the butter. Add the egg and water; beat with a fork until well blended. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and beat well with the fork. Pour into a greased 9 or 10" glass pie plate. Spread the batter to cover the bottom of the pan. Microwave on HIGH 1 1/2-3 minutes, until cooked through but still pliable. You can reheat it in the microwave briefly if it gets too stiff. Use like a pita, wrap or tortilla.

I made this in the medium size square pyrex baking dish (the set you can get with the lids on them) and 1 was PLENTY for 2 "regular" eaters. I tweaked the spices a bit and added some dill to one and basil to the other and my family went crazy for it. If you're anti microwave I'd say bake at 350 for 7-10 minutes, just keep an eye on it. Could easily be tweaked by adding a bit of dijon mustard or a sprinkle of cheese on top before cooking. Flax is a great fiber source and since it's just basically egg and flax it's less bread and more of a holder than anything - not that I'm advocating putting bread back in your diet, but sometimes you just want something a lil different. Could also leave out the savory spices and add nutmeg, cinnamon and cloves to make a sort of pancake for breakfast foods, it's also gluten free for those with gluten sensitivities =)
