Ingredients

1 package active yeast
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
3/4 cup water (might need more)
1 teaspoon oil

Directions

In the bowl of a food processor combine the yeast, sugar, flour, salt and thyme. Pulse to combine. Add the water in a steady stream until the dough begins to form a ball, turn it on to a board and knead with the heel of your hand until the dough is smooth and elastic.

Coat a bowl with oil. Place dough in bowl, and cover with a damp cloth. Put in a warm spot to rise until double in size, about 1 hour.

When the dough has doubled in size, punch the dough, scrape it onto the counter and knead it lightly into a smooth ball. Cut into 20 pieces and with a rolling pin roll out to form very flat 5 to 6-inch circles.

Preheat a stove top grill pan over medium high. Do not oil. Place bread on hot grill and cook without touching it until you see bubbles on the surface, about 1 to 2 minutes. Turn and continue to cook 1 to 2 minutes more or until bread has puffed up. Serve immediately.

Wonderful Flavor & Easy to Make in Food Processor
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

My thyme plant has been harvested extensively so I used ? fresh thyme and ? fresh marjoram. They puffed wonderfully on a hot... cast iron griddle and made the baba Garnoush I made taste great. The griddle was also great as I could cook 3 at a time. The flat bread also tasted great with some butter on it. Make sure you keep them hot while cooking the batch. Wife loved them. They are a ?make again? on our recipe file. Jim in So. Calif. Read more

Made this as an appetizer, now make it to use for flat bread sandwiches/wraps. I use different herbs and garlic depending on... the entree. These cook very quickly on a hot griddle or grill.Read more

Excellent and Easy
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This turned out fluffy and chewy just like flat bread is supposed to be. We tried this recipe when we couldn't find flat... bread at the super market. The recipe is very straight forward and everything works out just like described. Make sure your griddle is very hot and if you want ten or so dinner plate sized pieces I recommend that you double the recipe. Read more
