Flatbread Tips:
- Use Warm Water: Warm water activates the yeast and makes the dough easier to work with.
- Keep It Thin: Roll the dough thin for a soft, pliable texture or slightly thicker for a crispier bread.
- Cook on High Heat: Use a hot skillet, griddle, or oven to achieve a nice char and texture.
- Rest the Dough: Allow the dough to rest for at least 30 minutes to make it easier to roll and cook.
- Add Oil or Yogurt: A touch of olive oil or yogurt in the dough ensures softness and flavor.
Flatbread Variations:
- Whole Wheat Flatbread: Substitute whole wheat flour for a healthier version.
- Garlic Herb Flatbread: Add minced garlic and fresh or dried herbs to the dough.
- Cheese-Stuffed Flatbread: Fill the dough with cheese before cooking for a gooey treat.
- Gluten-Free Flatbread: Use a gluten-free flour blend for those with dietary restrictions.
- Sweet Flatbread: Add a touch of honey or cinnamon for a sweet twist.
- Spiced Flatbread: Incorporate spices like cumin, coriander, or za’atar into the dough for a Middle Eastern flair.
