For a more intense nutty flavor, toast the spelt flour in a dry skillet over medium heat for a few minutes before using. Be careful not to burn it. Feel free to experiment with different herbs and spices. Garlic powder, dried rosemary, or a pinch of red pepper flakes would be delicious additions. If you don't have a cast iron skillet, you can use a regular baking sheet. Just make sure to grease it well with olive oil. The resting period for the batter allows the gluten to relax, resulting in a more tender flatbread. Don't skip this step! For a thinner, crispier flatbread, use a larger skillet.
