Brady Evans has a hard time finding some really good healthy bread alternatives in the grocery store, so she takes matters into her own hands.

I’m really frustrated at the lack of healthy bread offerings in our closest grocery store. There are rows and rows of the same brand and same style of enriched white sandwich bread and usually about 3 loaves of staling wheat bread available for purchase. 
Now I have no problem making my own whole wheat sandwich bread; I do, however, have a problem finding the time to set aside to do so.
This past weekend after my grocery shopping trip, I came home without a single loaf of bread but the ingredients for two different types of sandwiches that I had added to my meal plan.
This whole wheat flatbread recipe saved the day. It can be made after work and allows only a short rest which is the perfect window of time for prepping the main course ingredients.

I love how quickly these can be made! So many flatbreads require hours of rising time. This is indeed perfect for a weeknight dinner.
