Easy Griddled Flatbreads Recipe | Authentic Turkish Flavor

Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 cup warm water (About 110°F (43°C))
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon active dry yeast

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare the Dough

    In a large bowl, mix flour, salt, sugar, and yeast. Slowly add warm water and olive oil, mixing until a dough forms.

    Knead the dough for about 10 minutes until smooth.
  2. Let the Dough Rise

    Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm place for about an hour or until doubled in size.

    You can preheat your oven slightly and turn it off to create a warm environment.
  3. Divide the Dough

    Once risen, punch down the dough and divide it into 6 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball.

    Keep the other pieces covered to prevent them from drying out.
  4. Roll Out the Flatbreads

    On a floured surface, roll each ball into a circle about 1/4 inch thick.

    Try to keep them uniform in size for even cooking.
  5. Griddle the Flatbreads

    Heat a griddle or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook each flatbread for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through.

    Adjust the heat as necessary to avoid burning.

💡 Tips & Tricks

Use a cast iron skillet for best results. Serve with yogurt or hummus for dipping. Store leftover flatbreads in an airtight container to keep them soft.
