Ingredients
active dry yeast
1/2 (teaspoon)
olive oil
1 (tablespoon plus extra for brushing)
flour
1 1/3 (cups plus extra for dusting)
coarse salt
1 (teaspoon plus extra for sprinkling)
warm water
1/2 (cup)
Instructions
1
Preheat your grill to a high heat, ensuring it's hot enough for direct grilling.
2
In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup warm water with the active dry yeast, stirring gently to dissolve. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until the mixture becomes foamy, indicating the yeast is active.
3
To the yeast mixture, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1 1/3 cups of flour, and 1 teaspoon of coarse salt. Stir until the ingredients are combined and a shaggy dough forms.
4
Transfer the dough onto a well-floured surface. Knead the dough for 2 minutes or until it becomes smooth and elastic. Adjust the dough's consistency by adding a tablespoon of flour or water if necessary, aiming for a smooth and slightly sticky texture.
5
Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm area for about 30 minutes, or until it has doubled in size.
6
Once the dough has risen, turn it onto a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces and roll each piece into a round shape, approximately 1/8 inch thick.
7
Using a brush, lightly coat one side of each flatbread round with olive oil. Place the rounds, oiled side down, on the preheated grill.
8
Grill the flatbread for 2 minutes. Brush the top side with olive oil and flip the rounds using tongs.
9
Continue grilling for another 2 minutes until grill marks appear and the flatbreads are cooked through. Remove from the grill and sprinkle with coarse salt while still hot.
10
Serve warm, and enjoy your delicious Savory Grilled Flatbread with your favorite dips or as a flavorful addition to grilled meats.
