Herbed Yogurt Spelt Flatbreads Recipes

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).

YOGURT FLATBREAD

Steps:

• Mix all of the dry ingredients in a bowl. Add the yogurt and use a wooden spoon to combine. The dough will be shaggy and sticky.
• Transfer to a well floured surface and sprinkle with some flour. Fold the dough in on itself a few times and then form into a ball.
• Use a knife or pastry cutter to divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. I cut it in quarters first and then cut each quarter in half to ensure all the pieces are equal in size.
• Roll each piece into a ball on a floured surface and press down with your hands to form it into a 5" disk.
• Heat a griddle or frying pan with enough oil to coat it and prevent sticking. Lower heat to medium or medium-low and cook the flatbread for about 1 1/2 minutes on each side or until it begins to turn a nice golden brown.

YOGURT FLATBREAD

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt and baking powder. Add the yogurt and mix together with a wooden spoon until all the ingredients are well combined.
• Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead by hand for 5 minutes until the dough feels smooth, but some bumps are ok.
• Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces and wrap each in plastic wrap. Store at room temperature for 20 minutes to allow the dough to rest.
• Add flour to each dough ball with your hands and then use a rolling pin to flatten out the dough on a lightly floured surface.
• Heat a cast iron skillet on medium high heat. Add olive oil or butter and cook the flatbreads one at a time for about 2-3 minutes per side until the bread is puffed and parts of it become golden brown.
• Serve with homemade labneh, olives, tomatoes and cucumbers, if desired.
