The Flatbreads Recipe is a taste great served with hummus and dips, or with barbecued food. They are best eaten as soon as they are cooked, when they are still soft and warm.

| Flatbreads Recipe |
Ingredients:
2 cups (250 g) white bread flour
1 tsp fast-acting dry yeast
½ tsp sugar
½ tsp salt
6 fl oz (175 ml) warm water
Place the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt in a large mixing bowl and mix well with a wooden spoon. Make a well in the center and stir in enough of the water to form a soft dough.
Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and knead for 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Return the dough to the bowl and cover with a clean, damp dish towel. Leave it in a warm place for an hour or until the dough has doubled in size.
“Punch down” the dough with your fist to remove the large air bubbles, then divide the dough into six equal chunks with your hands.
Knead each chunk lightly, on a lightly floured surface, to make a flatter, round shape. Then roll out each piece of dough into a 5” (13 cm) diameter circle with a rolling pin.
Preheat a frying pan. Add a flat piece of dough and cook for a minute, until golden underneath. Then flip it over and cook the other side for 30 seconds. Serve immediately.
Variations:
Try adding different ingredients to the flour mixture in Step 1, such as 1 tbsp of freshly chopped rosemary, chopped scallions, or crushed garlic.
