This is just a quick visual walk through on how to make these sandwich thin rounds.
Step 1: In a bowl, mix together 1 cup of warm water, flaxseed, the sugar, the yeast, and ¾ cup of whole wheat flour. Set aside for 10 minutes.
Step 2: Add in the remaining flours, honey, and salt.
Step 3: Knead the batter well with your hands or with a stand mixer until dough becomes easy to handle. You may need to add more flour.
Step 4: Once all of the flour is incorporated and the dough is no longer sticky. Place the dough in a warm area and cover it with a clean towel. Let it rise for about 30 minutes.
Step 5: Remove the dough from the bowl and knead a few times, divide the dough into 24 pieces and roll each into a small ball. Place on a greased or lined cookie sheet. Let the balls rest for a few minutes.
Step 6: Once the balls have rested, spray each of the tops with a little oil and use your hand to flatten.
Step 7: Prick the dough a few times with a fork or a toothpick. Sprinkle a few raw rolled oats on the top of the rounds if desired.
Step 8: Bake at 375 degrees for about 15 minutes or until the rounds are cooked through. Remove from the oven and cool.

Storing Thin Bread
The best way to store sandwich thin bread depends on the type of bread and how soon you plan to use it. Here are some broad guidelines:
Storage at room temperature
If you plan to use the sandwich thin bread within a few days, you can store it at room temperature in a breadbox or a plastic bag with the air squeezed out.
Keep it away from direct sunlight and sources of heat, which can dry it out and make it taste bad.
Refrigerator
If you need to keep the sandwich thin bread for more than a few days, you can put it in a tight plastic bag and put it in the fridge.
This will help it stay fresh for a week or more.
Freezing Thin Bread
You can freeze sandwich thin bread if you want to keep it for a longer time.
Wrap each slice tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil, or wrap the whole loaf, and then put it in a freezer bag or container.
It can last up to 3 months in the freezer.
How to Thaw Thin Bread
To soften, take the bread out of the freezer and let it come to room temperature before using.
