The possiblities are endless, add fresh herbs, sundried tomatoes . . . yum! This is an adaptation of Martha Stewart's recipe. Total time indicatesd includes rising.

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

2 teaspoons dry active yeast
1 1/4 cups warm water
2 cups bread flour, plus more for work surface
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for bowl and griddle

Steps:

In a large bowl, mix together yeast and 3/4 cup water; let stand 5 minutes.
Add remaining 1/2 cup water, flour, sugar, salt, and olive oil; mix until a dough is formed.
Turn dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead until firm, about 5 minutes. (Or use your Kitchen Aid mixer to knead the dough).
Lightly oil a large bowl and add dough.
Cover with plastic wrap and keep in a warm place; let rise until dough has doubled in size, about 2 hours.
Divide dough into 8, 2 oz. pieces.
Roll each piece of dough out to an 1/8-inch-thick oblong circle; cover dough with a clean towel.

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 4

Ingredients

110g self-raising flour , plus extra for dusting
110g plain wholemeal flour or atta flour
3 tbsp rapeseed oil , plus extra for the bowl
small knob of butter , melted

Steps:

Sift the flours and 1 tsp salt into a large bowl. Add 1 tbsp of the oil and 150ml warm water. Bring together into a soft but not too sticky dough (you may need up to 175ml water). If it feels too wet, add some flour. If it's too dry, add water.
Tip onto a floured surface and knead for 4-5 mins, or until smooth. Put the dough in an oiled bowl, cover and leave for 30 mins.
Tip onto a floured surface. Divide into six balls and roll each out into a thin, 18-20cm wide circle using a rolling pin. If you prefer, you can divide again into twelve balls to make smaller flatbreads.
Brush a heavy-based pan with oil and cook one flatbread over a high heat for 1-2 mins on each side, or until golden and starting to puff. Put on a plate and brush with butter. Repeat with the rest of the dough.

Tips:

Make sure the yeast is active before using it. To do this, dissolve the yeast in warm water with a pinch of sugar and let it sit for 5-10 minutes. If the yeast is active, it will start to bubble.
Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic. This will help to develop the gluten in the flour, which will give the bread a chewy texture.
Let the dough rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size. This will give the yeast time to produce carbon dioxide, which will make the bread light and airy.
Bake the bread in a preheated oven until it is golden brown. This will give the bread a crispy crust and a chewy interior.

Conclusion:

Flatbread is a versatile and delicious bread that can be used for a variety of meals. It is easy to make and can be customized with different toppings. Whether you are looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a special occasion dish, flatbread is a great option.
