Easy Flatbread

I use this recipe for many things...including pizza on the grill in the summer. Yum! I'm hoping to post a couple things I make with it soon.

Whole wheat on bottom and all purpose on top

1 package active yeast
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon coarse salt
3/4 cup warm water (might need more)
1 teaspoon oil

 I start by priming the yeast. Put it in the 3/4 cup warm watter with the sugar, and let it sit until foamy, about 10 min. 
Next, in my (awesome) food processor, I mix the flour and salt. You can mix in up to 50% whole wheat flour if you want a little more healthy bread. Pour in the water/yeast mixture while pulsing (or stirring if not using a food processor). When dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl, knead until it is elastic and smooth. Place dough in bowl coated with oil, and let rise until double in size, about 1 hr to 1.5 hrs. 

Dough before rising

Preheat a grill or pan on the stove to medium-high heat. I use my non stick pan. I have used the cast iron as well and just put a little oil in the first time to get a coating. You shouldn't need to oil it up with each piece. 
 Punch the dough down and tear off a ball a little larger than a golf ball (smaller than a tennis ball). Place on flour surface and roll out as thin as possible. Put in pan and cook on one side until bubbly, then flip and cook another couple minutes until nicely browned. Repeat with the rest of the dough.
 This recipe makes 5-6 average sized flatbread pieces for me. I use them for pizzas, gyros, "flatbread trucks", and just dipping in hummus. Sometimes I even just heat in the morning and put a little honey and cream cheese on them. Enjoy!
