How to make easy and tasty skillet flatbreads!
Ingredients
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tsp Active Dry Yeast
- 1 ½ cup water warm, 80°F
- 1 tbsp Maple syrup
- 1 ½ tbsp Canola oil
Instructions
- Measure and prep all your ingredients.
- In a separate bowl or measuring cup, combine warm water and maple syrup. Stir to dissolve.In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: 4 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 2 teaspoons of active dry yeast.Pour the water and syrup mixture into the dry ingredients. Add canola oil.Using the back of a wooden spoon, mix everything together until a shaggy dough forms and it becomes too thick to stir.
- Knead the dough by hand until it becomes soft and smooth.Lightly oil a clean bowl, place the dough inside, and cover first with a dry kitchen towel, then with plastic wrap. Let it rest in a warm place for at least 30 minutes.
- Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces.
- Roll each into a ball, cover again, and let rest for another 15 minutes.
- Lightly flour your work surface and roll each dough ball into a ¼-inch thick circle or oval. Stack between parchment paper or on a floured board.
- Heat a dry cast iron skillet on high. Once hot, reduce heat to low. Cook each flatbread 2–3 minutes per side until golden and puffed.
- As each flatbread finishes, wrap in a clean kitchen towel to keep warm. Repeat with remaining dough.
Notes
Storing Homemade Flatbread
Like with most other homemade bread recipes, these flatbreads are best enjoyed the same day they are made, but they can be stored for up to 3 days at room temperature. For longer storage, you can transfer them to a Ziploc bag or airtight container, and freeze for up to 3 months. Always make sure to label the date on the outside of the container to keep up with freshness.
