Homemade Spelt Flat Breads Recipes

HOMEMADE SPELT FLAT BREADS

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl mix together the instant yeast and warm water until the yeast dissolves.
• Slowly stir in 1 C of the spelt flour until evenly combined and smooth.
• Cover with plastic wrap. Let the dough rise for 30 minutes.
• After the dough has risen, uncover it. Mix in the salt, vegetable oil, and the remaining 2 1/2 C of flour.
• Flour a clean work surface and knead the dough until it is soft and doesn't stick to your fingers. Intermittently add flour to the surface as needed to prevent excessive sticking.
• Grease a large bowl with vegetable oil. Place the dough inside, cover it, and let the dough rise undisturbed for 1 hour.
• Divide the dough into eight equal pieces without over working. Gently flatten each piece into a five-inch-wide circle.
• Arrange the dough circles on your clean surface or on a baking dish and lightly sprinkle each piece of dough with spelt flour. Loosely cover with a towel and let the dough rise for a third time for 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 500ºF. After the dough has risen and the oven is up to temperature place the dough on an oiled baking sheet or on a baking stone.*
• Bake the dough for 6-8 minutes or until they puff up and are golden-brown.
• Remove the flat breads from the oven and serve warm or at room temperature.

HOMEMADE FLAT BREAD

Steps:

• In the bowl of a food processor combine the yeast, sugar, flour, salt and thyme. Pulse to combine. Add the water in a steady stream until the dough begins to form a ball, turn it on to a board and knead with the heel of your hand until the dough is smooth and elastic.
• Coat a bowl with oil. Place dough in bowl, and cover with a damp cloth. Put in a warm spot to rise until double in size, about 1 hour.
• When the dough has doubled in size, punch the dough, scrape it onto the counter and knead it lightly into a smooth ball. Cut into 20 pieces and with a rolling pin roll out to form very flat 5 to 6-inch circles.
• Preheat a stove top grill pan over medium high. Do not oil. Place bread on hot grill and cook without touching it until you see bubbles on the surface, about 1 to 2 minutes. Turn and continue to cook 1 to 2 minutes more or until bread has puffed up. Serve immediately.

SPELT FLAT BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Whisk flour, salt, onion powder, and sugar together in a bowl; add water and whisk until smooth. Cover bowl with a towel and set bowl aside.
• Pour olive oil into a 12-inch cast iron skillet and place in oven until oil is hot, about 5 minutes. Pour batter into oiled skillet.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Flip flat bread and cook until browned, about 10 minutes more.

QUICK & PUFFY FLATBREADS

Steps:

• Combine the flour, baking powder, yogurt and oil with 1 tsp salt and 2 tbsp water, and bring together into a rough dough. Tip onto a lightly floured surface and knead for a few minutes until slightly smooth, then divide into four to eight pieces, depending on the size of flatbread you want.
• Heat a heavy-based frying pan over a high heat. To make basic flatbreads, roll the dough pieces out on a lightly floured surface into rough ovals, then fry for 1-2 mins on each side until golden and slightly charred in spots. Alternatively, roll the dough pieces out, brush with a little melted ghee or butter, and scatter over the cumin seeds, garlic, coriander or chillies, if you like. Fold each piece of dough over on itself, then roll out again into a rough oval and cook in the same way.
• Brush the flatbreads with a little melted butter or ghee, then serve.

SPELT FLOUR FLATBREAD

Steps:

• Mix dry ingredients.
• Add the liquids, garlic and oregano.
• For a thinner batter, add water as needed.
• Mix well.
• Preheat a cast iron griddle or pan and oil or spray.
• Ladle the batter onto the griddle and as it cooks, sprinkle the chopped onions on the top side.
• When bubbles appear on the surface and the center sets-up, flip over and cook till the edges start to dry and the center is firm.

VERY SIMPLE SPELT BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease two 9x5 inch loaf pans.
• In a large bowl, mix together the spelt flour, sesame seeds, salt, molasses, baking soda and milk until well blended. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans.
• Bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden. Placing a tin of the same size over the top of the loaf while baking gives it a lovely crust.
