Skillet Flatbread
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 tsp active dry yeast
- 1 cup water 90-100°F
- 2 1/4-2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 4 tsp olive oil plus more for serving
- as needed canola oil
- as needed zaatar
Servings: 9" flatbreads
Instructions
- Combine yeast and water in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook. Allow fermenting for 10 minutes.
- Stir in 1 cup of flour, I tbsp olive oil and salt. Add another half a cup of flour and begin kneading. Knead until the flour is absorbed and continue adding flour by the tablespoon until dough pulls away from the side of the bowl and is no longer sticky. I used 2 1/4 cups of flour in total. Knead until dough is smooth, about 7 minutes.
- Coat a large bowl with 1 tsp of olive oil. Form dough into a ball and place in the bowl, turn to coat in oil. Cover and allow to rise for 1 hour.
- Divide dough into 4 equal portions. Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Roll or press one dough portion into a 9" round. Drizzle 1 tsp of canola oil into the hot skillet. When the oil is hot add the prepared rolled dough. Cook for about 4 minutes per side, adjusting the heat as needed.
- While the flatbread is cooking roll the remaining dough portions into 9" rounds.
- Remove flatbread from skillet and drizzle with additional olive oil and sprinkle with Zaatar if desired.
