Equipment
- Mixing Bowls
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon Dry Active Yeast I like using Red Star
- 1 cup Warm Water 38ºC/100ºF, divided
- 1 teaspoon Granulated Sugar
- 2 cups Unbleached Flour
- 1 teaspoon Sea Salt
- 2 tablespoon Olive Oil Extra Virgin
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine yeast, 1 cup of warm water, and sugar. Allow yeast to bloom for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a separate medium mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt.
- Once the yeast has bloomed, add it to the mixing bowl with the flour. The dough will be shaggy at this point.
- Add the olive oil to the dough and use your hand to knead the dough in the bowl for 10 minutes or in a stand mixer with the hook attachment until the dough starts forming. See troubleshooting tips.
- Add a drizzle of olive oil around your mixing bowl to coat the sides. Cover the bowl with a damp kitchen towel or plastic wrap.
- Place the bowl in a warm place and allow to rise for 1 hour. Tip: Place the bowl in a cold oven with the oven light on - this will create a warm environment for your dough to rise.
- Turn the dough over on a lightly floured surface, and divide into 8 equal parts. Fold in the sides of each piece and roll into a ball. Place onto a floured baking sheet and cover. Let the dough rest for 20-25 minutes.
- Heat a Cast Iron on medium heat. I like to use avocado oil to grease the pan.
- Take one ball of dough out onto the lightly floured surface and shape it into a round flat disk. Using your hands or a rolling pin, flatten the dough keeping it in a round shape - about 8 inches in diameter. Remember, once the dough hits the hot pan it will instantly shrink.
- Place rolled-out dough onto the hot pan and allow the underside to cook for 2 minutes or until golden brown. Flip to cook the other side.
- Remove the flatbread and set it aside on a cooling rack. Repeat steps 9 & 10 for the rest of the dough.
- Optional: Before serving the warm bread, drizzle on some olive oil and sprinkle on some flakey sea salt.
