Flat Bread

Make some flat bread to accompany some delicious grilled vegetables, meat, or some lovely hummus.

Flat bread can be stuffed, rolled, made into pizza. There so many wonderful options.

 

Ingredients

• 2 1/4 cups all purpose flour, divided
• Dash of sugar
• 1 package dry yeast
• 6 tablespoons warm water
• 1/2 cup warm water
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• cooking spray

Directions

 

Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Dissolve sugar and yeast in 6 tablespoons warm water in a large bowl; stir in 1/4 cup flour. Let stand 30 minutes or until bubbly. Add 1 3/4 cups flour, 1/2 cup warm water, and salt to yeast mixture; stir until a soft dough forms. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead until smooth and elastic (about 8 minutes); add enough of the remaining flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, to prevent dough from sticking to hands. Place dough in a large bowl coated with cooking spray, turning to coat top. Cover and let rise in a warm place (85°), free from drafts, 1 hour or until doubled in size. (Gently press two fingers into dough. If indentation remains, dough has risen enough.) Punch dough down; cover and let rest 5 minutes.
