FLAT BREAD OR KHOUBIZ

Steps:

• Sift the flour into a large mixing bowl, and warm in oven on low heat.
• Dissolve yeast in 1/4 cup warm water, add remaining water and stir in salt and sugar.
• Remove about 2 cups of the flour from the bowl, set aside.
• Pour yeast liquid into centre and stir in some flour to make a thick liquid.
• Cover with a cloth and leave in warm place till frothy.
• Stir in the rest of the flour, adding oil gradually, then beat till smooth, either by hand for 10 min, or with electric mixer using dough hook for 5 min.
• Sprinkle some of the reserved flour onto a board, turn out dough and knead for 10 min, using more flour as required.
• Dough is ready when it's smooth, satiny with a slightly wrinkled texture.
• Shape dough into a ball.
• Oil bowl, put dough in smooth side down, then turn to coat with oil.
• Cover and let rise till doubled in bulk, about 1-1 1/2 hours.
• Preheat oven at 500 F (260 C).
• Punch down the dough and turn out onto lightly floured board.
• Knead for a min or so, then divide into 8 equal pieces, rolling each into a ball.
• Roll each piece into a 25 cm (10 in) round and place on a lightly floured cloth.
• Cover with another cloth and leave about 20 min.
• Heat large baking sheet or flat griddle on the lowest shelf on electric oven, in a gas oven select the section with the most even heat.
• Place a round on a lightly floured baking sheet with one flat edge or on a piece of plywood, spreading it evenly.
• Shake to ensure that it will slide off easily.
• Rub heated baking sheet or riddle with wad of paper towel dipped in oil then slide dough onto it.
• Bake in hot oven for 4-5 min till it puffs like a balloon.
• If you'd like it browned on top, turn quickly and leave for a min.
• Remove bread and wrap in cloth to keep warm and soft.
• Rep with rem loaves.
• (note) If desired, you can use an electric fry pan.
• Preheat it on the highest setting with lid on, vent closed.
• When heated, oil base quickly& slide dough onto base.

ROTI FLAT BREAD

Steps:

• Mix dry ingredients together. Add enough warm water to form dough.
• Cover and let rise for 10-15 minutes.
• Roll out medium sized dough balls into flat circles.
• Fry in hot pan with very little oil.
• Should only take a few minutes per side.

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).
