Ingredients

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour plus more for dusting
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • 2 ¼ teaspoons instant yeast 1 packet
  • 1 ½ cups warm water
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil plus more for brushing
  • 2 teaspoons salt

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Combine all ingredients in the bowl of a stand mixer. Mix on low with the dough hook for 2 minutes. Then increase speed to medium/low speed for 6 minutes
  2. Remove the dough and lightly grease the bowl. Place the dough back into the bowl, cover with a kitchen towel and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.
  3. Remove the dough and divide into 10 equal pieces and reshape into small round balls. Lightly dust the dough balls with flour and transfer to a rimmed baking sheet. Cover with a kitchen towel and let stand for 20 minutes.
  4. Heat a cast iron skillet or another non-stick skillet over medium heat with olive oil.
  5. Roll out one of the dough balls using a rolling pin to a 7-8 inch circle and carefully transfer it to the skillet.
  6. Cook for 2 minutes or until the top surface is covered with bubbles, then flip and cook until the dough is lightly golden on the bottom, about 2 more minutes.
  7. Remove from pan and cover with a kitchen towel to keep warm while repeating with the rest of the dough. Serve with your favorite toppings or fillings.

Notes

  • Storage: Wrap any leftover flatbread in plastic wrap or place in a Ziploc bag with the air squeezed out. Store at room temperature for up to four days. Store in the refrigerator for up to a week and in the freezer for two to three months.
