Crispy Beer Flat Bread Food

CRISPY BEER FLAT BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven (480-490 F, 250-260 C). Put the baking tray into the oven. So it will be heated up, too.
• Mix olive oil and garlic and set aside.
• Sieve flour with salt and add beer. Mix with hands until dough is formed. Knead dough for 5 minutes with slightly floured hands. Let rest dough for about 10 minutes.
• On a slightly floured working platform, roll out the dough with a rolling pin. It should be thin (if you like the bread very crispy roll out the dough very thin). Place the dough on baking paper (size of the baking tray).
• Brush the dough with the olive oil. Sprinkle it with herbs (you could use more or less than 1 tablespoon).
• Put dough (on baking paper) on the baking tray in the oven and bake for about 5 - 10 minutes until it is golden brown. During baking the bread will develop several "bubbles".
• Take out of the oven and let cool on a cooling rack. Serve slightly warm or cool.
• NOTE on herbs: use your favorite herbs. If you like the herbal flavors you can use more. But you could also leave them out completely. You could also use an "Italian herbs mixes". You can also use fresh herbs (if at hand).
• NOTE on olive oil: I only use the oil for brushing and don't use the garlic in it. If you like a garlicky styled bread, you can use the garlic for brushing, too.

CINNAMON FLAT BREAD

Steps:

• Mix all dry ingredients for the dough in a bowl and add the milk. Mix with slightly floured hands until dough is formed. Knead dough for 5 minutes with slightly floured hands. Let rest dough for about 10 minutes.
• Preheat oven (480°F, 250°C). Put the baking tray into the oven. So it will be heated up, too.
• On a slightly floured working plat form roll out the dough with a rolling pin. It should be thin (as thinner you roll it as crispier it will get during baking). Place the dough on baking paper (size of the baking tray).
• Mix egg yolk and milk. Brush the dough with this mixture.
• Mix brown sugar, grounded cinnamon and grounded cayenne pepper. Sprinkle the dough with this mixture.
• Put dough (on baking paper) on the baking tray in the oven and bake for about 5 - 10 minutes. The bread should be done within 5 minutes and will be soft. If you like it more crispier let it bake for up to 10 minutes. During baking the bread will develop several "bubbles".
• Take the cinnamon flat bread out of the oven and let cool on a cooling rack. Cut into pieces and serve.
• NOTE (28 April 2006): you can omit the cayenne pepper, if you don't like it. But I would recommend it, because that spicy taste goes well together with cinnamon. If you are hesitant, just try it with a pinch of cayenne pepper first (I added this note after BestTeenChef has reviewed the recipe. Thanks for the comment).
