Ingredients for Flatbread
- 80 g of water
- 3 g of dry yeast
- 80 g of milk
- 250 g of flour (half to be added initially)
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon of sugar (preferably raw for a richer flavor)
Step-by-Step Preparation
1. Activating the Yeast
Dissolve the dry yeast in water and let it sit for about 60 seconds. This step helps reactivate it before mixing with the other ingredients.
2. Preparing the Dough
Add the milk and half of the flour to the bowl with the activated yeast. Mix in the salt and sugar, but don’t overmix initially to avoid compromising the yeast’s effectiveness.
Gradually add the remaining flour and mix until you get a homogeneous dough. Cover with a cloth and let it rest for 15 minutes—the flour will naturally hydrate, making the dough easier to work with.
3. Shaping the Dough Balls
Divide the dough into four equal parts and shape them into smooth, uniform balls.
To prevent them from drying out, store them in sealed containers or cover with plastic wrap. This step is essential to ensure even rising and a soft final result.
Let the dough balls rest for one and a half hours until they double in size.
4. Rolling and Cooking in a Skillet
Once risen, gently flatten each ball with your hands. If using a rolling pin, be careful not to press too hard, as this can remove the air bubbles that keep the bread fluffy.
Heat a non-stick skillet and cook the flatbread over medium heat, flipping it multiple times to ensure even cooking and a perfect rise.
Secrets to Perfect Flatbread
- Flip the bread multiple times during cooking for an even rise.
- Don’t press too hard with the rolling pin to maintain softness inside.
- Use a well-heated Pan for a golden, crispy crust.
