Wholemeal flatbreads are a healthy and delicious option for any meal. They are perfect for wraps, sandwiches, or as a side to your favorite dishes. This recipe uses simple ingredients like all-purpose white wheat flour, yeast, salt, water, and olives to create a flavorful and nutritious flatbread.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup all-purpose white wheat flour, 1 tsp yeast, and 1 tsp salt.
- Gradually pour in 1 cup of water while mixing to form a smooth dough. The dough should be slightly sticky.
- Gently fold in the 1/2 cup chopped olives into the dough until they are evenly distributed.
- Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap.
- Allow the dough to rise in a warm, draft-free location for about 1-2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
- Once the dough has risen, divide it into 6-8 equal portions.
- Lightly flour your work surface and roll each portion into a ball.
- Flatten each ball with your hands or a rolling pin into a round or oval shape, about 1/4-inch thick.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
- Cook each flatbread for about 2-3 minutes on one side until bubbles start to form. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until both sides are golden brown and cooked through.
- Repeat with the remaining dough portions.
- Serve the flatbreads warm. They can be enjoyed on their own, or used as a wrap or base for various toppings.
Tips:
- Ensure your yeast is active by dissolving it in warm water (not hot) and letting it rest for about 10 minutes before mixing it with flour.
- Knead the dough well until it's smooth and elastic to ensure the flatbreads have a good texture.
- Allow the dough to rise in a warm, draft-free place until it doubles in size. This usually takes about 1 to 2 hours.
- When shaping the flatbreads, use a light dusting of flour to prevent sticking and to make rolling easier.
- Cook the flatbreads on a hot griddle or skillet for the best results. They should puff up and have golden brown spots when done.
- You can add various herbs or spices to the dough to customize the flavor of your flatbreads.
- For an extra burst of flavor, try adding different types of olives or other mix-ins like sun-dried tomatoes or roasted garlic.
These wholemeal flatbreads are not only easy to make but also versatile and nutritious. Whether you enjoy them fresh off the griddle or use them as a base for various toppings, they're sure to become a staple in your kitchen. Enjoy your homemade flatbreads with your favorite dips, spreads, or fillings.
