Prepare the Dough:
– In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Stir and let it sit for about 5 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.
– Add the flour, salt, and olive oil (or melted butter) to the yeast mixture. Stir until a dough forms.
– Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.
– Gently fold in the finely diced vegetables (and grated cheese or herbs, if using) until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Let the Dough Rise:
– Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with plastic wrap or a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
Shape the Flatbreads:
– Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air. Divide the dough into equal portions (about 8-10 pieces, depending on the desired size).
– Roll each portion into a ball, then flatten each ball into a disc about 1/4 inch thick using a rolling pin or your hands.
Cook the Flatbreads:
– Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the skillet with a bit of oil or butter.
– Cook each flatbread for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown and puffed up. You may need to adjust the heat to ensure they cook evenly without burning.
Serve:
– Serve the vegetable stuffed flatbreads warm. They can be enjoyed on their own, with a dipping sauce, or as an accompaniment to soups and salads.
These flatbreads are versatile and can be customized with your favorite vegetables, herbs, or cheese. Enjoy them as a snack, appetizer, or part of a meal. If you need more recipes or have any questions, feel free to ask!
