# How to Make It:

01 - Grind oat flakes into a fine flour using a blender or hand blender. Transfer the oat flour to a mixing bowl and combine with baking powder, salt, and optional dried Italian herbs. Add Greek yogurt and egg. Mix thoroughly until a smooth, elastic dough forms. Allow the dough to rest for 2–3 minutes.
02 - Divide the dough into four equal portions. Shape each into a ball between your palms, then roll out on a lightly floured surface to thin rounds approximately 3–4 mm thick and the size of your palm.
03 - Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat and add olive oil. Place two flatbreads in the pan and cook for 2–3 minutes until the underside is golden brown. Flip and cook for another 2–3 minutes. Keep cooked flatbreads warm while repeating with the remaining dough.
04 - Spread your chosen sauce (such as tomato paste, pesto, crème fraîche, or hummus) over the warm flatbreads. Arrange selected toppings evenly on top, such as cheese, smoked salmon, vegetables, or seeds.
05 - If using cheese or if preferred, place the topped flatbreads briefly under a hot grill or in the oven at 200°C for 2 minutes to melt or heat the toppings.
06 - Garnish with fresh herbs, arugula, or sprouts as appropriate. Serve immediately while flatbreads are warm and crisp.

# Important Notes:

01 - For best texture, grind oats as finely as possible to improve dough cohesion.
02 - Rolling the dough too thin can cause tearing; aim for a consistent 3–4 mm thickness.
03 - Allowing a brief rest enables the dough to settle and handle more easily.
04 - Use medium heat to ensure a crisp crust without burning while the center cooks through.
05 - Refrain from turning the flatbread before it naturally releases from the pan.
06 - Apply toppings sparingly to prevent sogginess; always layer sauce first, followed by cheese or main items, with fresh ingredients added last after heating.
