Description
This Mediterranean flatbread is a soft and fluffy bread flavored with oregano, thyme, and garlic. It’s versatile, perfect for dipping or topping with your favorite ingredients.
Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 cup warm water
1 tablespoon active dry yeast
Extra olive oil for brushing
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, oregano, thyme, garlic powder, and baking powder.
- Pour the yeast mixture into the flour mixture and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Stir until the dough starts to come together.
- Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a thin circle about 1/4 inch thick.
- Place the flatbreads on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush with a little olive oil.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the flatbreads are golden and slightly crisp.
- Remove from the oven and serve warm with your favorite dips or toppings.
Notes
Store leftover flatbreads in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2-3 days.
Reheat in the oven or a dry skillet to regain a fresh-baked texture.
For a different flavor, add rosemary or basil to the dough.
For a cheesy version, stuff with shredded mozzarella or feta before rolling out the dough.
Whole wheat flour can be substituted for a healthier, more earthy flavor.
