Making the dough
To make the perfect Greek flatbread, you will need flour, yeast, salt, olive oil, and warm water. Start by mixing the flour, yeast, and salt in a large bowl. Make a well in the center and add in the olive oil and warm water. Using your hands or a dough hook, mix the ingredients until a soft dough forms.
Kneading and rising
Next, transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead it for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean towel, and let it rise for about an hour in a warm place. This will allow the dough to double in size and develop a light and airy texture.
Rolling and shaping
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into small balls. On a floured surface, roll out each ball into a thin circle, about 1/4 inch thick. You can use a rolling pin or your hands to shape the dough. Traditionally, Greek flatbread is slightly oval-shaped, but feel free to shape it as you prefer.
Cooking the flatbread
To cook the flatbread, you can either use a hot skillet or a grill. If using a skillet, heat it over medium-high heat and place the flatbread on it. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until it puffs up and turns golden brown. If using a grill, preheat it to medium-high heat and place the flatbread directly on the grates. Cook for about 1-2 minutes on each side until it is cooked through.
Adding flavors
For a traditional Greek flatbread, you can simply sprinkle some sea salt and dried oregano on top before cooking. However, you can also get creative and add different flavors to your flatbread. Some popular options include garlic and herbs, sun-dried tomatoes and feta cheese, or even a sprinkle of za'atar spice blend. Simply add your desired toppings on the rolled out dough before cooking for a flavorful twist.
Now that you have mastered the art of making Greek flatbread, there are endless possibilities for enjoying it. Serve it warm with your favorite dips and spreads like hummus, tzatziki, or baba ganoush. You can also use it as a wrap for sandwiches or fill it with grilled vegetables and protein for a delicious and satisfying meal. With this recipe, you can have a taste of Greece in the comfort of your own home.
