Flat bread

These are really great to keep on hand. I try to under cook them slightly, through them in the freezer and then when I need them I can through them in the toaster oven for a minute to make them soft or 5 minutes to make crunchy chips! You can also cut them into wedges and bake them or fry them to make dip able chips!


Flat bread Recipe

1 cup warm tap water
2.5 tsp sour dough start (or 1 1/4 tsp yeast)
1 Tbs. olive oil
3/4 tsp. salt
2 Tbs. sugar
2.25 cup white flour (or your favorite)
cornmeal for the bread stone (optional)

I mix the dough in the bread machine. (email me if you want the directions for doing this without the machine) Place the ingredients in the bowl of the bread machine:
If using sour dough start: Place warm water, sour dough start and oil in the bowl, then top with flour and salt.
If using yeast: Place warm water and oil in the bowl, then top with flour. Add the yeast in the middle and the salt in a corner. Set the machine to dough cycle and .. wait.

After the sough cycle is complete pull the dough out of the bowel and let it rise for an hour or so. Then divide the dough into even round balls. You should have about 8 or 10 small balls, depending on the size of flat bread you want. Roll out the sough using a rolling pin or something.

Heat the oven to 425 with a bread stone in. Let the dough rest while the ove is heating. Bake the flat breads for about 2 - 4 min on each side. Cool o a wire rack or serve warm!!
