Servings: 12 pieces
Author: Jane and Sonja

Ingredients

  • 1 cup warm water
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 2 tsp yeast quick rise
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 tsp salt

Instructions

  • Combine water, sugar and yeast in a small bowl or cup. Cover and let sit while preparing the other ingredients.
  • Combine flour and salt in a large mixing bowl. Add the yeast mixture and combine all together on medium speed (v hook), approx. 7 minutes. The dough needs to be the consistency of a pizza dough. If the dough appears to dry and still, add another ⅓ cup of warm water.
  • Remove from the mixing bowl and place on a clean, floured surface. Knead with hands for about a minute to form into a bowl. Cover with a paper towel and let sit for 10 minutes.
  • Roll out the dough and cut into squares or rectangular shapes, approx 3”x5” in size.
  • Separate the cut pieces away from the surrounding dough allowing space for the dough to rise. Let the cut pieces sit for 10 minutes.
  • Add vegetable oil to a frying pan, about 2-3 tbsp and preheat. Transfer the pieces to the pan and cook 2-3 minutes each side. When golden and slightly red in color, the flatbread is complete.
  • Remove from the pan and place on a dish while cooking the other pieces and cover with a paper towel.
