Spelt Flatbreads
Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups whole spelt flour
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons warm water, about 105 F degrees
- 1 1/2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon fine grain sea salt
Instructions
- Stir the yeast into the warm water and let sit for a few minutes, until yeast becomes foamy.
- Add the flour and salt to the bowl of a stand mixer with the dough hook attached. With the stand mixing running, gradually pour in the water and yeast and continue to knead just until the dough comes together and is smooth. Spelt flour should not be overworked so be careful not to knead for too long.
- Transfer dough to a lightly oiled bowl. Cover and let rise at room temperature until dough has doubled in size, about 1 1/2-2 hours.
- Divide the dough into 2 equal portions. Roll dough thinly into a rough oval shape. If dough springs back after rolling, allow the dough to rest for a few minutes, and try shaping again.
- Preheat a griddle over high heat. Melt a few teaspoons of ghee or coconut oil and cook flatbreads on griddle, about 3 minutes per side until brown and golden in spots. Alternatively, flatbreads can be baked in 500 F degree oven for about 5 minutes.
