Step by Step Method

Step 1

Mix together the flour, yeast salt and sugar, Then add in the olive oil. Gradually add the water (you may not need all of it) mixing by hand to form a soft, not sticky, dough.

Step 2

Spread a little olive oil on the tabletop, then remove the dough and knead it on the oiled surface, It will be shaggy at first, but after 5 to 10 minutes will become very smooth and supple.

Step 3

Place the kneaded dough into a lightly oiled bowl, covered, to rise until doubled, about 1 1/2 hours.

Step 4

Remove the dough from the bowl, punch down to remove the air, then divide into 3 fairly equal pieces, Stretch the dough, using your fingers, into a rough circle, then cover with plastic to rest about 25 minutes - The dough will puff up but not double.

Step 5

Preheat the oven to 450 F.

Step 6

'Dimple' the dough with your fingers carefully so as not to deflate too much, then brush the top with a paste made from the remaining oil and herbs.

Step 7

Bake for about 20 minutes or until a deep golden brown and the bread sounds hollow.

First time Middle Eastern Flat Bread maker here and this dough came together easily and baked up beautifully. We LOVED it. Highly recommend. Made for the AmaZ'ing Race 2023 (Dubai, UAE).
