>Got any good recipe for flatbread
I don't remember where I got this, but I have it memorized.
6 C bread flour
4 tsp rapid rise yeast (breadmaker yeast)
2 tsp salt
2 tsp sugar
2 Tbsp olive oil
Mix 5 C flour, yeast, salt, sugar and oil in stand mixer or by hand. Add the last cup of flour (or possibly more, depends on temp and humidity, etc) until the dough is no longer sticky.
Dump out dough, knead by hand a bit until it's soft and smooth. Add flour as needed. Make a ball, put in greased bowl, spray top with cooking spray, cover with towel and let rise until doubled, about an hour.
Dump out risen dough, punch down and knead a bit more, then divide into 16 pieces (8 if you're doing pizza crust sizes). Make balls from the pieces, cover with towel, and let rise a second time, about 30 mins.
Flatten out balls into rounds, can use a rolling pin but can also do by hand. Gently stretch to reach desired size. Cook the bread on a cast iron griddle or pan set to medium to medium high heat, about 1-2 mins per side.
Kids love every step of this process. You're supposed to be able to freeze the flatbread if you want, but I never have because it's gone in a couple of days, as I have a big family. I also use 3 Tbsp of olive oil instead of 2 for the extra fat calories. Most of the sugar is used up by the yeast, this is not at all sweet. You can certainly add herbs or whatever, but we use these for gyros, mini pizzas, dipping in hummus or tzatziki, pita mozz, that sort of thing.
It's dead easy, and as I said, if you do it with kids it's great fun.
