White Bean Flat Bread

Jimmy asked me to make my butternut squash soup again last Sunday and I was not sure what to make to go along with it. I was texting my friend Colynn (who is also vegan) and she suggested a flat bread. I decided to use the white bean recipe she use to make all the time when I was in Florida. She also suggested I chop up my vegetables in the food processor. Anyway, this is a really simple recipe  but tastes delicious. It may look a little funny but all of the flavors are there. It was absolutely delicious and we were able to eat it the next day for lunch. 

Flat Bread Ingredients
1 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup flour
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 -1 1/2 cups warm water
garlic salt (to taste)
dry parsley (to taste)

Directions
Mix all ingredients in a bowl. Kneed for about 5 minutes until no longer sticky.
 Form into a ball and place in a bowl. 
Put a wet towel over bowl to help keep moist until you are ready to use it.

1 can white beans (drained & rinsed)                    Mix everything in food processor.
