Grilled Flatbread With Coconut Dipping Sauce Recipes

GRILLED FLATBREAD

Steps:

• Heat a grill or grill pan until hot. Place water in a medium bowl, and sprinkle yeast on top; stir to dissolve. Let sit until foamy, about 5 minutes. Add olive oil, flour, and salt; combine. Turn dough out onto a well-floured surface, and knead until smooth and elastic, 1 to 2 minutes. Place in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let stand in a warm place for 30 minutes.
• Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide into 4 equal pieces, and roll out each into a 1/8-inch-thick round. Lightly brush both sides of each round with olive oil, and place the rounds directly on the hot grill. Grill the flatbread until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Remove from grill, and season with salt.

FETA-STUFFED GRILLED FLATBREAD

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk together 2 cups warm water and the honey. Sprinkle yeast over warm water. Stir to dissolve. Gradually stir in whole-wheat flour. Stir about 1 minute. Let mixture rest, uncovered, 15 minutes.
• Sprinkle salt over mixture. Stir in yogurt and 1 tablespoon oil. Stir in 2 cups all-purpose flour, then add more a little at a time, until dough is too stiff to comfortably stir. Turn dough out onto a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Sprinkle in additional flour as needed to yield a smooth and only very slightly sticky dough.
• Let dough rise at room temperature in a lightly oiled bowl, loosely covered with a dish towel, until doubled in bulk, about 2 to 3 hours. Alternatively, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
• In a blender or food processor, purée basil leaves, 1/2 cup oil, a large pinch of salt and the garlic. Scrape mixture into a bowl.
• Divide dough into 8 equal portions. If you let your dough rise at room temperature, chill dough balls for at least 30 minutes and up to 4 hours. (If you refrigerated the dough overnight, you can skip this second chilling if the dough still feels cool.)
• On a lightly floured surface, roll out 1 dough ball to a 6-inch circle (keep remaining balls on a baking sheet loosely covered with a dish towel). Brush top of circle with basil oil and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon oregano and 2 tablespoons feta. Fold edges of dough over the center of the filling and press together to seal, so filling is no longer visible. Use hands or a rolling pin to reroll dough to a 6-inch circle. Repeat with remaining dough balls.
• Brush both sides of dough rounds with olive oil and grill for 5 to 6 minutes, flipping halfway through, or until each side has grill marks. The bread is ready to be flipped when it begins to puff and bubble. Sprinkle with salt while hot and serve with remaining basil oil for dipping. Note: Measurements for dry ingredients are given by metric weight for greater accuracy. The equivalent measurements by volume are approximate.

GARLICKY GRILLED FLATBREAD STRIPS WITH FRESH TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium-high heat. In a medium bowl, stir the chopped tomatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, the vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Toss well and let stand to become juicy and soft while you make the pizza.
• Divide the dough into 2 pieces. Stretch each piece of dough into a large rectangle on a lightly floured work surface using your hands or a rolling pin, about 10-inches long by 6-inches wide. Transfer to the back of a large baking sheet using your hands and reshape the rectangle, if necessary. In a small bowl, mix the remaining 3 tablespoons oil with the grated garlic and lightly brush the top of each piece of dough.
• Working with one piece of dough at a time, place the dough, oiled-side down, on the grill until the dough puffs and the bottom is lightly charred with deep grill marks, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip the dough, using heatproof tongs and a spatula. Brush what is now the top of the pizza with half the oil and sprinkle with half the Parmesan. Grill until the cheese is melted and the pizza is crisped, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a large cutting board. Repeat with the second dough rectangle.
• Cut the grilled pizza into 2-inch wide strips and cut each in half crosswise. Mash the tomato mixture, using a potato masher, to form a chunky sauce and stir in the basil. Serve the flatbread strips with the tomato sauce on the side.

GRILLED COCONUT WINGS WITH THAI PEANUT DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• To make the marinade: using a food processor, grind the ingredients into a paste the consistency of thin yogurt. Reserve small amount for basting and transfer the remaining marinade to a glass bowl. Add the cleaned and trimmed chicken wings. Toss liberally, cover with plastic wrap, and marinate in the refrigerator overnight.
• To grill the wings, shake off the excess marinade and grill the wings over medium heat for approximately 5 minutes per side, or until crispy. Brush them frequently with the reserved marinade, and be careful not to burn the wing tips. The wings should have a crispy texture with a deep mahogany color when done.
• Serve with the Thai Peanut Sauce.
• To make the peanut sauce, add the peanuts along with the peanut oil to a food processor. Blend, on high, until the peanuts form a rough paste. Add the rest of the ingredients except for the cilantro; blend until smooth. Stir in the cilantro and thin with peanut oil to taste.

GRILLED FLATBREAD WITH COCONUT DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• Stir together hot roll mix, water, garam masala and olive oil in a large mixing bowl until dough pulls away from sides of bowl. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead for 2 minutes. Shape dough into a ball and place in a bowl coated with nonstick cooking spray, turning to oil top.
• Cover and let rise in a warm place (85 degrees F), free from drafts, 35 minutes or until doubled in size.
• Divide dough into 11 pieces; shape each piece into a ball, and place in an aluminum foil-lined 15x10-inch jellyroll pan coated with cooking spray. Cover and let stand 5 minutes. Stretch and shape each ball into a thin 6x4-inch rectangle.
• Grill flatbread, without grill lid, over medium heat (300 degrees F to 350 degrees F) 2 minutes on each side, brushing with butter. Sprinkle with coconut, and serve with Coconut Dipping Sauce.
• To make Coconut Dipping Sauce: In a food processor, process coconut milk, almonds, tomato sauce, honey, curry powder and ginger until nuts are finely ground, stopping to scrape down sides. Makes 1 1/3 cups.
