Rye flatbreads with kefir - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can use buttermilk or plain yogurt thinned with a little milk as a substitute for kefir. The acidity helps activate the soda for a light texture.
Store cooled flatbreads in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days. Reheat in a dry skillet for best results.
Yes, replace rye flour with a gluten-free blend (add 1 tsp xanthan gum if not included). Note that texture and flavor will vary slightly.
Pricking prevents air pockets from forming, ensuring even thickness and avoiding uneven rising during baking.
Try hummus, tzatziki, mashed avocado, or herbed cream cheese. They’re also great with soups or stews for dipping.
Absolutely! Freeze baked and cooled flatbreads in a sealed bag for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature or warm in a 300°F (150°C) oven.
Extend baking time by 3–5 minutes or briefly broil at the end. For extra crunch, brush with oil before baking.
Yes, but the flavor will be milder. For best results, use half whole wheat and half rye flour to maintain depth of taste.
