Servings: 6 flatbreads
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups whole barley flour
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 1/2 tsp instant yeast (1 pkg/8 g)
- 2 Tbsp canola oil
- 1 Tbsp liquid honey
- 1 1/2 cups warm water
- Additional flour for rolling
- Additional oilf for brushing
- dried herbs and salt for sprinkling, if desired
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine whole barley flour, all purpose flour and yeast. In a measuring cup, whisk oil, honey and water. Pour liquid into the flour yeast mixture and stir until blended and dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
- Remove dough to a lightly floured surface. It will be slightly sticky. Knead, adding a little flour if necessary, for 10 minutes, until the dough is soft, smooth and elastic.
- Return dough to the mixing bowl and brush lightly with a little oil. Cover with plastic wrap or a damp cloth for 90 minutes, until dough has doubled in volume.
- Preheat oven to 450°F (220°C). Heat a baking stone or an upside down cookie sheet while you roll out the flatbreads.
- Punch dough down and form into a disk, about 8 inches (20 cm) in diameter. Cut into six even pieces. On a lightly floured surface, roll out pieces into 8-inch (20 cm) rounds, approximately ¼ inch (1 cm) thick.
- Carefully open the oven door and with a spatula place one round in the centre of the baking stone or upside down cookie sheet. Bake until puffed and surface is dry, about 4 minutes. Remove to a cooling rack and repeat with remaining dough.
- If desired, brush warm flatbreads with a little canola oil, sprinkle with dried herbs and salt.
- These are best eaten immediately or they can be stored for one week in a re-sealable plastic bag and reheated before serving. Flatbreads can be frozen for up to one month.
