Ingredients

Flatbread:

  • 1 1/2 cups warm water
  • 1/2 teaspoon dry yeast
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons green olive oil, plus more for brushing
  • Salt and pepper

Cucumber-Yogurt Salad:

  • 2 cucumbers, peeled and coarsely grated
  • 8 ounces plain yogurt, drained through a strainer lined with cheesecloth for 1 hour
  • 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper
  • Dill sprigs

Directions

Flatbread:

Mix water and yeast and let stand 15 minutes. Gradually pour in 2 cups of the flour and incorporate. Mix for about 1 minute to form a sponge. Let stand, covered for at least 1 hour up to 2 hours to create the sponge.

Put sponge in the bowl of an electric mixer. Using the dough hook, add flour 1/2 cup at a time to form dough. Remove from bowl and knead. Place in a clean oiled bowl and let rise, slowly, about 1 hour. Divide dough into 4 balls. Roll out into 6-inch circles.

Heat grill to high. Brush the dough with olive oil and season with pepper. Grill the bread for 2 1/2 to 3 minutes on each side. Remove from the grill and brush with more olive oil.

Cucumber-Yogurt Salad:

Combine shredded cucumbers, yogurt, garlic, cumin, and chopped dill in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Garnish with fresh dill sprigs.

    I used yeast that was fresh and checked again to make sure I followed directions for the flat bread correctly as far as I could tell. The dough was like glue, too soft to knead, though I did for a long time and far too soft and wet to go on the grill unless it was on top of greased aluminum foil. Which is how I eventually cooked the bit I could salvage. It did puff up and was pretty good with olive oil with salt and pepper. There was salt on the ingredient list but I missed how it went in the flatbread, so I assumed you sprinkled it on top with the pepper. What a mess my kitchen now is from this flatbread. OMG I pray that my sink is not clogged. Does anyone know what happened?

    The pita bread is genuine...flavor, texture, aroma, etc. The cucumber salad is good and you can modify the size of cuts, the amount of flavors, etc. Keep this recipe.
