Flatbread

Submitted by Joanna Grotenhuis

 

3 cups All-Purpose Flour

1 ¼ cups Boiling Water

½ cup Potato Flakes

1 ¼ tsp salt

2 T Oil

1 tsp yeast


Put 2 cups of flour into a large heatproof bowl (glass or stainless). Pour boiling water
over flour. Stir until smooth. It will be very thick and hard to stir. It should eventually
form a sticky ball. Cover and let sit for 30 minutes (this cooks the flour so you will not
have a raw flour taste in the finished flatbread). In a separate bowl, stir together the
potato flakes, remaining flour, salt, oil and yeast. Add to the flour mixture, knead until
all incorporated and is smooth – about 5 minutes. Cover and let rise for 1 hour. Punch
down dough, divide into about 8 portions. Let dough rest for 10 minutes. Roll out each
portion on a lightly floured board. Dry fry on a griddle set at 350 degrees for about 1
minute per side. Let cool under a towel to keep from drying out.
Substitutions: put a large handful of spinach into the blender, with 1 ¼ cups of water.
After blending, pour into glass measuring cup and microwave until boiling. Use instead
of water.
You may use any herbs, roasted red peppers (skins removed), whatever you like. You
may also substitute all-purpose flour for wheat, rye, oat, or other flour.
