Well … If you’re making hummus, you may as well make the flat bread to go with. Store bought flat bread is expensive and generally tasteless. This recipe is easy and is gone in seconds!
Ingredients:
2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 tbsp minced herbs (use your imagination on the herb blend. I use a blend of Greek / Mediterranean herbs, or simply rosemary and thyme)
2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp sugar
2 cups of flour
1 tbsp olive oil
3/4 cup warm water
Prepare:
Whisk all the dry ingredients together. Make a well in center, and add the water and olive oil. Stir together to form a dough.
Knead the dough until smooth and elastic, add flour only as necessary to prevent stickiness.
Place dough in large bowl oiled with olive oil. Turn dough in bowl to cover with oil. Cover with clean dish towel and let rise until doubled in bulk in a warm spot.
Dive dough into three or four pieces. Roll each piece out on lightly floured surface until about 1/8th inch thickness. I like smaller, pancake-size pieces, so adjust as you prefer.
Heat skillet to just below medium. Add tbsp of olive oil to skillet. When hot, add a flattened dough piece to the skillet, 2 to 3 minutes each side. Cook one at a time. Be careful the skillet isn’t too hot or it will burn the flat bread. After each piece is done, add some more olive oil and cook them all.
