Serves: 6

Ingredients

• 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast
• 2 cloves garlic, minced (1 Tbsp or 6 g)
• 1 Tbsp (3 g) minced herbs (rosemary and thyme)
• 3/4 tsp sea salt
• 1/2 tsp organic cane sugar
• 1 1/4 cups (170 g) Bob’s Red Mill Unbleached All Purpose Flour
• 3/4 cup (90 g) Bob’s Red Mill Spelt Flour (or sub more all purpose)
• 1 Tbsp (15 ml) olive oil, plus more for coating bowl
• 3/4 cup (180 ml) warm water*

Instructions

1. To a large mixing bowl, add yeast, garlic, herbs, sea salt, organic cane sugar, all purpose flour, and spelt flour, and whisk.
2. Make a well in the dry ingredients and add olive oil and 1/2 cup (120 ml) of warm water to start. Stir with a wooden spoon to mix. Add more water as needed until a dough forms.
3. Transfer to a clean, well-floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic - about 2 minutes - adding more flour as needed to prevent sticking.
4. Wipe out mixing bowl and add a bit of oil - 1 tsp. Roll dough around to coat and position seam-side down in the bowl. Cover with a damp towel or plastic wrap. Set in a warm place to rise for 1 hour.
5. Once doubled in size (see photo), cut dough into 6 even pieces, arrange on a clean surface, and lay a damp towel on top. Let rest.
6. In the meantime, heat a large skillet (electric or cast iron) to medium-high heat (~ 375 degrees F).
7. One at a time on a lightly floured surface, roll each piece of dough into a large circle that's fairly thin (not paper thin, but less than 1/8th inch thick - see photo).
8. Lightly grease preheated skillet and lay down flatbread. Don’t touch, cook for 2 1/2 minutes. Flip and cook for 2 1/2 minutes on the other side. Repeat, adding more oil to coat surface, until all flatbread is cooked.
9. Enjoy immediately, or let cool completely and store in a well-sealed bag or container up to 3 days (though best when fresh).
