Flat Bread Ingredients

Method

Instructions

  1. 1

    Activate Yeast

    In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Make a well in the center of the flour mixture. Add the activated yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.

  4. 4

    Knead Dough

    Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

  5. 5

    First Rise

    Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

  6. 6

    Shape the Bread

    Punch down the dough and divide it into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a circle about 1/4 inch thick.

  7. 7

    Cook the Flatbread

    Heat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Cook each flatbread for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and puffed.

  8. 8

    Serve

    Serve warm, either whole or cut in half, with your favorite dips or toppings.
