Easy Flatbread Food

HOMEMADE FLAT BREAD

Steps:

• In the bowl of a food processor combine the yeast, sugar, flour, salt and thyme. Pulse to combine. Add the water in a steady stream until the dough begins to form a ball, turn it on to a board and knead with the heel of your hand until the dough is smooth and elastic.
• Coat a bowl with oil. Place dough in bowl, and cover with a damp cloth. Put in a warm spot to rise until double in size, about 1 hour.
• When the dough has doubled in size, punch the dough, scrape it onto the counter and knead it lightly into a smooth ball. Cut into 20 pieces and with a rolling pin roll out to form very flat 5 to 6-inch circles.
• Preheat a stove top grill pan over medium high. Do not oil. Place bread on hot grill and cook without touching it until you see bubbles on the surface, about 1 to 2 minutes. Turn and continue to cook 1 to 2 minutes more or until bread has puffed up. Serve immediately.

4-INGREDIENT BAKED FLATBREAD (PLUS TOPPING IDEAS)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, using a wooden spoon, combine together the yogurt, flour, and baking powder until uniform and a dough ball forms.
• Flour your hands and knead until the dough is smooth (I knead right in the bowl). The dough will go from having ragged texture to a smoother, softer texture. Place the dough onto the center of the baking sheet.
• Using your hands, evenly flatten the dough until the dough is ¼ inch thick (8x12 inch flatbread). Brush olive oil over the top of the flatbread.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes until the flatbread is golden-brown and cooked through.
• If adding toppings: Decrease the oven to 325 degrees F. Top the baked flatbread with desired toppings *(see first note) and bake for 8-12 minutes until the ingredients are softened and heated through.

EASY FLATBREADS

Steps:

• Add all the flatbread ingredients to a mixing bowl and mix together with a spoon, then use clean hands to pat and bring everything together.
• Dust a clean work surface with flour, then tip out the dough.
• Knead for a minute or so to bring it all together (this isn't a traditional bread recipe, so you don't need to knead it for long - just enough time to bring everything together).
• Put the dough into a floured-dusted bowl and cover with a plate, then leave aside.
• If making the garlic butter: peel the garlic cloves and crush them with a garlic crusher.
• Pick the herb leaves onto a chopping board and finely chop them, discarding the stalks.
• Melt the butter in a small pan over a medium heat, then stir through the garlic and chopped herbs, then set aside.
• Dust a clean work surface and rolling pin with flour, then divide the dough in half, then divide each half into 6 equal-sized pieces (roughly the size of a golf ball).
• With your hands, pat and flatten the dough, then use a rolling pin to roll each piece into 12cm rounds, roughly 2mm to 3mm thick.
• Use a knife to cut 6 lines into the centre of each round, leaving about 3cm at each end.
• Place the griddle pan on a high heat, then once hot, cook each one for 1 to 2 minutes on each side, or until bar-marked and puffed up, turning with tongs.
• Brush the flatbreads all over with herby garlic butter as they come off the griddle, then pile onto a serving board so everyone can dig in and help themselves.

NAAN-LIKE EASY FLATBREAD

Steps:

• Combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, cumin seeds, and sugar together in a large bowl.
• Combine milk and 1 tablespoon oil in a small saucepan; heat over medium heat until warm, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir into flour mixture until small clumps form. Knead dough, adding more flour by the tablespoon if needed, until it is soft and smooth. Let dough rest, about 3 minutes.
• Divide dough into 4 equal pieces. Pressed into flat circles on a floured work surface.
• Brush a large skillet with remaining 1 tablespoon oil; heat over medium-high heat. Cook circles of dough one at a time until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side.

5 EASY FLATBREAD PIZZA RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425° F.
• Bake all flatbreads for about 10-12 minutes or until cheese is fully melted and crust is golden and reaches desired level of crispiness. Flatbreads tend to continue to crisp out of the oven if left to cool on the hot baking sheet. These can also be grilled in about 10 minutes on medium-high heat with the cover down. Just be sure to oil grill grates with oil.
• Top flatbread with a light layer (1/4 cup) of pizza sauce and top with mozzarella pearls. Garnish with chopped basil just before serving.
• Slice cooked sweet Italian chicken sausage. Top flatbread with a light layer (1/4 cup) of pizza sauce and spinkle with either shredded mozzarella or quatro formaggio cheese as needed. Top with pepper, onion, and sweet italian sausage. Note: sausage must be fully cooked.
• Spread 2-3 tablespoons of fig jam on the flatbread. Top with mozzarella pearls and chunks of prosciutto torn apart with hands. While pizza is cooking, bring a a small saucepan of balsamic vinegar to a simmer. Simmer until reduced by half and thickened, about 5 minutes. Top with fresh arugula drizzle balsamic reduction over pizza just before serving.
• Top flatbread with a light layer (1/4 cup) of pizza sauce and top with quatro formaggio cheese. Top with whole or halved pepperoni slices.
• Top flatbread with 3-4 tablespoons of basil pesto. Top with fresh mozzarella pearls and optional sliced cherry tomatoes.

SOFT AND FLUFFY FLATBREAD (NO YEAST)

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt together until well blended.
• Make a well in the middle of the flour mixture, and then add olive oil, maple syrup, and most of the water (saving a few tablespoons to add later as necessary).
• Switch to a rubber spatula or spoon and stir the wet ingredients into the flour mixture. If the dough seems dry, add the remaining water. When the dough comes together, transfer to a floured work surface and knead 5 to 10 times until smooth. Cover with a clean dish cloth and leave for 10 minutes.
• Divide the dough into six equal pieces. Dust each piece in flour and roll into a disc that's between 1/8-inch and 1/4-inch thick. (Rolling thinner will make thinner bread that's less soft in the middle. Rolling thicker will make thicker, fluffier bread.)
• Add one to two tablespoons of oil to a skillet placed over medium heat. When the oil looks shimmery, add a flatbread (or more if they fit), and cook until golden brown on one side, flip and cook until golden brown on the second side, 1 to 2 minutes on each side.
• Transfer cooked flatbread to a plate, cover with a clean dish towel to keep warm, and then continue with the remaining flatbreads. If the skillet looks dry, add a little more oil before continuing.

EASY FLATBREAD RECIPE

Steps:

• Mix the flour, yogurt, baking powder and salt and knead lightly until a dough forms. Cover with a tea towel and let it rest for 30 minutes.
• Divide into 6-8 portions. Roll out thinly on a generously floured surface. Preheat a frying pan until smoking hot. Dip a bunched up sheet of paper towel into vegetable oil and rub the frying pan with it. Cook each flatbread on high until it bubbles up, it can take up to 1 minute or even longer depending on the heat of your pan. Then flip and cook on the other side for 20-30 seconds longer.
