Ingredients
Dough:
- 500 grams or 4 cups of bread flour or all-purpose flour
- 160 ml or 2/3 cup of warm milk
- 160 ml or 2/3 cup of warm water
- 10 grams or 1½ tbsp of instant dry yeast
- 10 grams or 1 tbsp of sugar
- 8 grams or ¾ tbsp of salt
- 18 grams or 3 tbsp of olive oil
Topping (optional):
- Melted unsalted butter or olive oil
- Crushed red pepper
- Chopped parsley
Directions
Step 1: Prepare the Dough
- In a mixing bowl, combine 160 ml warm milk, 160 ml warm water, 10 grams of instant dry yeast, and 10 grams of sugar. Stir until the yeast dissolves.
- Add 500 grams of flour and 8 grams of salt to the yeast mixture. Mix until well combined.
- Knead the dough with your hands until it becomes smooth. Add 18 grams of olive oil and continue to knead until the dough is smooth and elastic.
- Transfer the dough to a large mixing bowl, add more olive oil to coat, and cover with plastic wrap. Let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
Step 2: Shape the Dough
- After an hour, punch down the dough to release the gas. Remove it from the bowl and smooth it out.
- Divide the dough into 6 even pieces and shape each piece into a smooth ball.
- Cover the dough balls with plastic wrap to prevent drying.
- Take one dough ball, sprinkle some flour on it, and flatten it with a rolling pin until it’s about 7 inches (18 cm) in diameter and 5 mm thick.
Step 3: Grill the Flatbread
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a bit of oil.
- Place one flatbread dough into the hot skillet. When bubbles form on the top, flip it over.
- Cook until the bread turns golden yellow and starts to swell. Reduce the heat to low and flip once more to ensure both sides are evenly cooked.
- Transfer the cooked flatbread to a plate and cover it with a cloth to keep it soft.
- Repeat with the remaining dough balls.
Optional Topping:
- Brush the flatbreads with melted butter or olive oil.
- Sprinkle with crushed red pepper and chopped parsley.
