Whole Wheat Garlic Flatbread Food

GARLIC HERB FLATBREAD

Steps:

• To a large mixing bowl, add yeast, garlic, herbs, sea salt, organic cane sugar, all-purpose flour, and spelt flour and whisk.
• Make a well in the dry ingredients and add olive oil and two-thirds of the warm water to start (1/2 cup or 120 ml as original recipe is written // adjust if altering batch size). Stir with a wooden spoon to mix. Add more water as needed until a dough forms.
• Transfer to a clean, well-floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic - about 2 minutes - adding more flour as needed to prevent sticking.
• Wipe out mixing bowl and add a bit of oil (1 tsp as original recipe is written // adjust if altering batch size). Roll dough around to coat and position seam-side down in the bowl. Cover with a damp towel or plastic wrap. Set in a warm place to rise for 1 hour.
• Once doubled in size (see photo), cut dough into 6 even pieces (amount as original recipe is written // adjust if altering batch size), arrange on a clean surface, and lay a damp towel on top. Let rest.
• In the meantime, heat a large skillet (electric or cast iron) to medium-high heat (~375 degrees F/ 190 C).
• One at a time on a lightly floured surface, roll each piece of dough into a large circle that's fairly thin (not paper thin, but less than 1/8th inch thick - see photo).
• Lightly grease preheated skillet and lay down flatbread. Don't touch, cook for 2 ½ minutes. Flip and cook for 2 ½ minutes on the other side. Repeat, adding more oil to coat surface, until all flatbread is cooked.
• Enjoy immediately, or let cool completely and store in a well-sealed bag or container up to 3 days (though best when fresh).

GRILLED GARLIC FLATBREAD

Steps:

• Whisk 3 tablespoons olive oil, 1 minced garlic clove and 1/4 teaspoon each kosher salt, dried oregano and red pepper flakes. Stretch 1 pound pizza dough into a 1/2-inch-thick round. Brush with some of the garlic oil, flip onto the grill and cook over medium heat, covered, until puffy, 10 minutes. Brush with more of the oil, flip, cover and cook through, 5 more minutes. Brush with the remaining oil. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan.

GUY FIERI'S FLATBREAD

Steps:

• Mix the flour and salt in a medium bowl. Using a wooden spoon, slowly stir in 2 cups warm water until a dough forms. Lightly flour a clean board, then turn the dough out onto it and knead until smooth, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a clean bowl and cover with a damp kitchen towel; let rest 20 minutes.
• Preheat a griddle over medium-high heat. Divide the dough into 8 balls. Using a rolling pin, roll out the balls on a floured board into rough 7-by-8-inch rectangles, about inch thick. Working in batches, cook the dough on the hot griddle until marked on the bottom, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip and grill until marked on the other side. Stack the flatbreads and cover with a kitchen towel up to 20 minutes before serving.

WHOLE WHEAT FLAT BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• Mix ingredients together in a large bowl (I use a wooden spoon for this, although you could also use the bread hook on a mixer, or even a bread machine).
• The dough should form a ball -- not too dry, but not too sticky either. If you have mixed for a long time, and there is still a lot of flour in the bowl, add a tiny bit more water; If the dough is too wet, add more flour.
• Cover the ball of dough with a thin dusting of flour, so you can remove it from the bowl.
• Using floured hands, spread the dough onto a greased cookie sheet -- The dough should be thin enough cover the entire sheet (make sure that the cookie sheet is greased so that the dough doesn't stick when you're trying to spread it).
• Bake for 25 minutes at 350 (for a more "cracker-like" snack, bake longer).
• Transfer to a cooling rack to cool, and cut into 12 slices.

SKILLET GARLIC FLATBREAD

Steps:

• Mix flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl; add butter and crush into the flour mixture with hands until it resembles breadcrumbs.
• Mix hot water and garlic into the flour mixture until it all comes together into a dough; turn out onto a cutting board dusted with flour. Knead dough 3 or 4 times. Cut dough into 10 pieces, roll into balls, and flatten into discs.
• Cover dough with a clean kitchen towel and let sit for 20 minutes.
• Heat a cast-iron skillet over-medium high heat.
• Roll out one of the dough discs to about the size of your skillet. Cook in hot skillet until golden and puffy, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Remove to a platter and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm. Repeat with remaining dough portions.
