Chef’s Choice Flatbread Recipe

Preparation Instructions

1. 1

   Making the Dough

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

2. 2

   Mixing Ingredients

   In a large mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.

3. 3

   Kneading

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

4. 4

   First Rise

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

5. 5

   Preheating Oven

   Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a baking sheet or pizza stone inside to heat.

6. 6

   Shaping the Flatbread

   Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 2 or 4 pieces. Roll each piece into a flat circle or oval shape, about 1/4 inch thick.

7. 7

   Adding Toppings

   Brush each flatbread with olive oil, sprinkle with minced garlic, fresh herbs, and cheese. Add sea salt to taste.

8. 8

   Baking

   Carefully transfer flatbreads onto the hot baking sheet or pizza stone and bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden and crispy.
