This flatbread recipe uses six ingredients including yeast and needs only 30 minutes to rise. You don't need to knead it and yet it produces a soft, tender flatbread that's perfect for wraps and spreads as well as with BBQs and grills such as shawarma or hummus.
Yeast mixture - In a measuring cup or medium bowl, combine the warm water, olive oil, sugar, and yeast.
360 ml Warm water, 15 g Olive oil, 15 g Sugar, 7 g Instant dry yeast
Dry ingredients - In another large bowl, combine the flour and salt.
500 g All-purpose flour, 9 g Salt
Wet to dry ingredients - Add the yeast mixture to the flour mixture in the bowl. Use a wooden spoon or spatula to combine it well making sure that no dry flour is left on the bottom.
Proof - Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen cloth or plastic wrap. Let it rest in a warm place for 30 minutes to an hour, until it has almost doubled in size.
Divide- Transfer the dough to a well-floured work surface. Use a bench scraper or knife and divide the dough into two portions. Then divide each portion into 6 to make 12 flatbreads.
½ cup All-purpose flour
Roll - Dust each portion with flour and make a ball. Roll each ball on a well-dusted work surface with a rolling pin to about 6 inches, then dust off the excess flour.
Skillet - Heat a skillet on medium-high heat. Once hot, reduce heat to medium.
Cook - Place one flatbread on the skillet. Wait 30 seconds until you see bubbles form on the top. Flip it over and wait an additional 30 seconds. Then, use the back of your flat spatula to press down and help cook evenly.
Optional - You can brush the flatbread with oil or butter, or just leave it plain.
Store - Once cooked, keep them wrapped in clean kitchen cloth or cheesecloth to maintain their softness.
Enjoy.
