Description
This ultimate flatbread recipe delivers soft, fluffy, and perfectly chewy bread in just 90 minutes. With only six simple ingredients and minimal hands-on time, you can make restaurant-quality flatbread at home for wraps, dips, or pizzas.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (or bread flour for extra chewiness)
- 1 cup warm water (110°F/43°C)
- 1 tsp instant yeast (active dry yeast works too)
- 2 tbsp olive oil (plus extra for brushing)
- 1 tsp salt (fine sea salt preferred)
- 1 tsp dried herbs (rosemary, thyme, or oregano)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, yeast, and salt. Create a well and pour in warm water and olive oil. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
- Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for 8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough and divide into 6–8 balls. Let rest for 10 minutes.
- Roll each ball into thin rounds, about ¼ inch thick.
- Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Cook each flatbread for 2–3 minutes per side until golden spots appear. Brush with olive oil and sprinkle with herbs if desired.
Notes
Ensure water temperature is warm but not hot to activate yeast. Avoid adding too much flour for soft results. Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat before serving.
