TAFTOON - PERSIAN WHOLEMEAL FLAT BREAD

Steps:

• Sift the flours into a large mixing bowl.
• Dissolve the yeast in 1/4 cup of the warm water; add 1 1/2 cups of the remaining water and the salt.
• Pour the yeast mixture into the center of the flour and gradually work in.
• Beat with your hands for 20-30 minutes, or use the dough hook on an electric mixer and beat for 20 minutes, gradually adding in as much of the remaining 3/4 cup water as the dough will take (as the dough is beaten it will be able to take a little more water).
• Preheat oven to high (around 450 degrees F or more), and place a griddle on the center shelf to preheat for 10-15 minutes; when hot, lightly oil with a small cloth dipped in oil.
• Turn the dough out onto an oiled board (no need to proof the dough); oil your hands and divide the dough into 6 parts, rolling each piece into a ball.
• Roll out each ball as thinly as possible with an oiled rolling pin and prick all over with a fork or pinwheel, in 3-4 vertical lines across the surface.
• Take the round of dough and stretch it a little across the backs of your hands, and place dough on the smooth side of a cushion or pad.
• Pull the rack out where the heated griddle is on, and turn the cushion over and press down onto it.
• Close the oven and cook 1 minute, then pat down dough to prevent bread from puffing up.
• Bake until surface is bubbly (about 3 minutes), then turn bread over and cook 2 minutes more.
• Remove bread from oven and wrap in a towel.
• Allow oven temperature to reheat before starting another.
• Do not allow rolled dough to rest before baking; prepare just before putting in oven.

BACON-WRAPPED TATER TOTS®

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Lay each slice of bacon onto a work surface and place a potato nugget in the center of each bacon slice. Cut a slit down the center of each potato nugget and place a Cheddar cheese piece into the slit. Top each nugget with a dash of hot sauce. Wrap bacon around each filled potato nugget and secure the bacon to the nugget with a toothpick. Transfer the wrapped nuggets to the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until nuggets are cooked through and bacon is crispy, 15 to 20 minutes.
