Ingredients
Scale
- 500 ml warm water
- 1 packet (10 g) dry yeast
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 600–650 g flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Cornmeal (for dusting)
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix warm water, dry yeast, and sugar. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
- Add flour, salt, and olive oil, then stir until a soft dough forms. Knead for about 5 minutes until smooth.
- Cover the dough and let it rise for 1–1.5 hours until doubled in size.
- Divide the dough into equal portions and roll out each piece into a thin, round shape.
- Heat a dry skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle with cornmeal and cook each flatbread for 1–2 minutes per side until golden brown and puffed.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- For extra flavor, brush the flatbread with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt or herbs after cooking.
- To store, keep in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
- If you prefer a softer texture, cover the freshly cooked flatbread with a clean towel to trap steam.
- Works great as a base for flatbread pizza or as a side for soups and dips.
