  • Feel free to play around with this recipe and come up with new flavor combinations!

Thank you for this. I made the apple raisin cinnamon walnut variety. I should have made a double batch. My husband loved it so much he didn’t want to share. Haha! It is moist and perfect. My granddaughter even loved it, and she is picky. I did use honey as the sweetener. Thank you. This is Jon’s new favorite unleavened bread.
