Ingredients

Instructions

  1. To a large mixing bowl, add yeast, garlic, herbs, sea salt, organic cane sugar, all-purpose flour, and spelt flour and whisk.

  2. 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.

  3. Transfer to a clean, well-floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic - about 2 minutes - adding more flour as needed to prevent sticking.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. In the meantime, heat a large skillet (electric or cast iron) to medium-high heat (~375 degrees F/ 190 C).

Chef's Notes

*Temperature of water should be about 110 degrees F (43 C) or the temperature of bath water. It shouldn’t be too hot to the touch (or it can kill the yeast) or too cool (or it won’t activate the yeast).*Recipe loosely adapted from Food Network.*If you want to freeze these, we would recommend freezing the dough since the cooked flatbread really is best when fresh.*Nutrition information is a rough estimate.

My flats didn't turn out as lovely as yours. I used a cast iron skillet on my gas range. It was difficult to get the right temp for the skillet. So I got burn spots. I'll try again.

Hi, I plan on making this flatbread for your Italian Herb Tofu Wraps with Garlicky Hummus Sauce for my lunch for the next few days. I know to store the food items separately in the fridge until I am ready for lunch but how do you suggest I reheat the flatbread? Thanks so much, Marie

I have made this dozens of times and it is
My go-to recipe for flatbread. It is very easy and super delicious. I usually wait for really hot days so I get the perfect outdoor rise.

Tish ★ 5.0/5

I've made this recipe many times, and it always turns out well. I'm thankful to have found it. Thank you @minimalistbaker. This will always be my go to flatbread recipe.

Forgot to mention, I used whole wheat in place of the spelt (as I didn’t have any), and it was delicious!

Super simple and delicious! I left the garlic and herbs out for my first batch, because I wanted to make sure my kids would eat them. They were a hit! I served them alongside your curried lentil and potato soup. Thanks for the great recipes!
