Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast or instant yeast
  • 1 cup lukewarm water around 37°C/98°F
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 2 tbsp olive oil fruity, extra virgin preferred
  • Optional toppings cheese, herbs, cherry tomatoes, spreads

Equipment

  • Small mixing bowl
  • Rolling pin or glass jar
  • Baking sheet
  • Pastry brush

Method
 

  1. In a small bowl, combine the warm water with a pinch of sugar and sprinkle the yeast over the top. Let it sit for 5-7 minutes until it becomes frothy and bubbly, signaling that the yeast is activated.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the activated yeast mixture along with the olive oil.
  3. Stir with a spoon or dough scraper until the mixture begins to come together into a sticky dough, then knead gently in the bowl for about 2 minutes until smooth.
  4. Cover the bowl with a clean towel and let the dough rest for 10 minutes. This helps relax the gluten for easier rolling.
  5. Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. Lightly flour your work surface and roll each piece into a thin circle about 10 centimeters in diameter, aiming for an even thickness.
  6. Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  7. Place the rolled-out flatbreads onto the prepared baking sheet. Use a pastry brush to lightly coat each with olive oil for added flavor and crunch.
  8. Top each flatbread with your preferred toppings—cheese, herbs, cherry tomatoes, or spreads—being careful not to overload to keep them crispy.
  9. Bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes, until the edges are golden, puffed slightly, and toppings are bubbling and fragrant.
  10. Remove the flatbreads from the oven and let them rest for 2 minutes. They should be crispy around the edges with a soft, airy interior.
  11. Serve these warm, bite-sized flatbread bites immediately, garnished with a sprinkle of herbs or sea salt if desired. They’re perfect for grazing and can be customized endlessly!

Notes

Feel free to experiment with different toppings like roasted vegetables, spicy spreads, or vegan cheeses. For extra crunch, sprinkle seeds before baking.
