German flat bread

I found in the supermarket in Greece this bread (a lot cheaper than this) and I would like to find a recipe. It is tasty and filling I hope someone on the board can point me to a recipe with any advice welcome as I am a beginner. Thanks.

Look under: Vollkornbrot :)
You've been bitten by a rye bug, welcome to the rye-t place! Looks like a very high % rye to me. Don't know how they figure the %, maybe including the water?
Pretty sharp, Mini. Thanks for the chuckle.
Hi, originally posted this as no raising agent in the bread as the print was so small on my packet I could not see it and then saw the above site had yeast included so editied my post. Also, did not know some German breads are called flat breads when describing a pizza base, if I am not mistaken. Will look at the Vollkornbrot recipes but probably just enjoy the Delba bread when I get back to Greece.
I also chuckled at the Rye-t Place :)
Thank you.
(oh gosh another pun!)
You may find that baking rye bricks comes naturally.
The flours don't add up to 100% (baker's math) so something is off with the ingredient list, no recipe there. Most Vollkorn (full-grain) breads are made with soaked or partially cooked whole grains or "berries" and a little bit of flour, some sourdough, a sturdy spoon and a bowl and .... no kneading! Just spoon the dough into a pan, cover tightly and bake away. Easier than you might think... totally different from wheat bread. Trick seems to be figuring out when and how long to bake it, but that's the trick with just about every bread.
Oh, and for this loaf, one might want to start a rye sourdough culture to raise the bread, or at least to "sour" or acidify the dough for better gas bubble trapping or height. (One can have too much "brick" which may require registration as a weapon. Check with your local sourdough police.) I keep things simple... with just the grains, flour, water, sourdough starter, salt and some bread spices and snack type seeds. :)
