Yummy Hummus Bean Dip and Whole Wheat Flatbread

Bean Dip:
2 cloves garlic
1/2 cup tahini
1/4 or more cup lemon juice (juice from one lemon)
1/4 or more cup olive oil
1 can cannellini or garbanzo beans
Dash of paprika (optional)

Put lemon juice and tahini in food processor and blend about 1 minute. Then add all ingredients except olive oil into food processor and food process. Pour in olive oil as you process.

When serving, put a dash of paprika on top. Serve with flatbread.

Simple wholewheat flatbread (makes about four small sized pieces or two large pieces--serves two):

1 cup whole wheat flour (for fluffier bread, you can add an extra 1/2 cup white flour)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup yogurt
1/8 cup olive oil
Enough water to mix with dough, but keep dough firm

Combine salt, baking powder, and flour and stir well. Add all remaining ingredients except water. Add water gradually as needed to mix dough, but keep dough firm. After mixing, form into a ball with a spoon or hands and leave covered with a damp paper towel for at least 20 minutes but as long as an hour.

Roll into balls and then spread out on well-oiled aluminum foil. Four pieces should each be about half the size of your hand or so and should be spread out to about 1/4 thick or so. Put in oven on middle rack at a preheated 375 degrees. They should cook in 12-15 minutes or so. Take out of the oven, allow to sit 3-5 minutes, and then eat with bean dip.
