Moroccan Flatbread Recipe
Ingredients:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon instant yeast
- 1 cup warm water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions:
Prepare the Dough:
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, sugar, and instant yeast.
- Make a well in the center and add the warm water and olive oil.
- Mix together until a dough forms.
Knead the Dough:
- Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size.
Shape the Flatbreads:
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and place a baking stone or inverted baking sheet inside to heat.
- Punch down the dough and divide it into 6 equal portions.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out each portion into a circle or oval shape, about 1/4 inch thick.
Bake the Flatbreads:
- Carefully transfer each rolled-out flatbread onto the preheated baking stone or baking sheet.
- Bake for 6-8 minutes, or until the flatbreads puff up and the bottoms are golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and brush the tops with a little olive oil or melted butter, if desired.
Serve:
- Serve the Moroccan flatbreads warm alongside your favorite tagine dish.
Tips for Serving with Tagine:
- Warmth: Serve the flatbreads warm to enhance their texture and flavor.
- Dipping: Moroccan flatbreads are great for scooping up the flavorful sauces and juices from the tagine.
- Variations: You can add herbs like cilantro or spices like cumin or paprika to the dough for extra flavor that complements the tagine.
Enjoy your Moroccan flatbread with a delicious tagine for a complete and authentic Moroccan dining experience!
