Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a small bowl, combine the water (120g), yeast (5g), and sugar (5g).
- Stir well and let it sit for about 10 minutes, or until the mixture becomes frothy, indicating the yeast is active.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Peel and roughly chop the garlic cloves (6g).
- Place the garlic on a piece of aluminum foil, drizzle with a bit of olive oil, and wrap it up.
- Roast in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until the garlic is soft and golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and set aside to cool. Once cooled, mash the garlic into a paste.
- Peel and dice the potato (200g).
- Place the potato pieces in a small pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil.
- Cook until tender, about 10-15 minutes.
- Drain the water and mash the potato until smooth. Set aside to cool.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the bread flour (72g), salt (5g), chopped parsley (5g), and chopped rosemary (16g).
- Add the mashed roasted garlic, mashed potato, yeast mixture, olive oil (60g), and vinegar (16g).
- Mix with a spoon or your hands until a dough forms.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface.
- Knead for about 5-7 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
- If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour, a tablespoon at a time.
- Lightly oil a bowl and place the dough inside, turning it to coat with oil.
- Cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap.
- Let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free area for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- If using a baking stone, place it in the oven to heat up. Otherwise, line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Punch down the dough to release any air bubbles.
- Divide the dough into 2-4 equal pieces, depending on the size of flatbread you prefer.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll each piece into a thin, flat circle or oval shape.
- Transfer the rolled flatbreads onto the preheated baking stone or prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the flatbreads are golden brown and slightly crisp around the edges.
- Remove the flatbreads from the oven and let cool slightly on a wire rack.
- Enjoy warm with your favorite toppings or dips!
Tips:
- Ensure your yeast is fresh and active by dissolving it in lukewarm water with sugar before mixing with other ingredients.
- Roast the garlic cloves until golden brown and fragrant to enhance their sweet, mellow flavor.
- Use a potato ricer or fine grater to achieve a smooth consistency for the potato, which will help in creating a tender flatbread.
- Allow the dough to rest adequately to develop the gluten, resulting in a better texture and flavor.
- Fresh herbs add a burst of flavor; feel free to experiment with other herbs like thyme or oregano based on your preference.
With its tantalizing aroma and delicious flavor, roast garlic flatbread is a versatile dish that's sure to become a favorite. By following these simple steps and tips, you can enjoy freshly baked flatbread that pairs perfectly with your favorite dips and spreads or as a standalone treat. Happy cooking!
