Servings:
6-8 flatbreads

Ingredients:

• • 2 teaspoons dry yeast (10 g)

• • 2 teaspoons sugar (10 g)
  • 2/3 cup warm water (165 ml)
  • 2/3 cup warm milk (165 ml)

• • 500 g flour (3 heaped cups), sifted
  • 1 teaspoon salt (5 g)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (15 ml)

• • Additional flour for dusting
  • Olive oil for brushing
  • Fresh parsley, finely chopped

• Red pepper flakes (optional, for garnish)

Directions:

1. 1. Activate the Yeast:
      • • In a small bowl, combine the dry yeast, sugar, and warm water.
      • Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.
   2. Mix the Dough:
      • • In a large mixing bowl, combine the sifted flour and salt.
      • Add the frothy yeast mixture, warm milk, and olive oil.
      • Mix until the dough comes together.

1. 1. Knead the Dough:
      • Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
      • Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

1. 1. Shape the Flatbreads:
      • Punch down the dough and divide it into 6-8 equal portions.
      • Roll each portion into a ball, then flatten it into a round disc, about 1/4 inch thick, on a floured surface.

1. 1. Cook the Flatbreads:
      • Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
      • Cook each flatbread for 2-3 minutes on one side until bubbles form, then flip and cook for another 2 minutes until golden brown.

1. 1. Brush with Olive Oil:
      • While the flatbreads are still warm, brush them with olive oil and sprinkle with chopped parsley.
      • For a spicy kick, sprinkle with red pepper flakes.

1. Serve:
   • Serve warm or at room temperature. Flatbreads can be used as wraps, sides, or a base for dips.

Serving Suggestions:

• • Pair with hummus, tzatziki, or baba ghanoush for dipping.
  • Use as a wrap for grilled meats or vegetables.
  • Serve alongside soups or stews.

• Top with cheese and bake for a quick pizza-style snack.
• Enjoy with olive oil and balsamic vinegar for a simple appetizer.

Cooking Tips:

• • Keep the skillet at medium heat to avoid burning the flatbreads.
  • If the dough feels sticky, add a little more flour while kneading.

• Store cooked flatbreads in a clean kitchen towel to keep them soft and warm.
