This goes so well with Mexican or Indian soups, lentils, beans, or chilies. I'm sure you could also use as a base for quick pizzas or brush with garlic butter for a tasty treat on its own!

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
¼ cup butter, cut into small pieces
1 cup hot water
3 cloves garlic, minced

Steps:

  • Mix flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl; add butter and crush into the flour mixture with hands until it resembles breadcrumbs.

Fresh herbs mixed into the dough give this flatbread a distinctly spring hue. Use whatever herbs are freshest.

Yield Makes three 6 1/2-inch-wide rounds

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup plus 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons finely chopped chives
2 1/2 tablespoons vegetable shortening
3 tablespoons milk
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • In the bowl of a food processor, combine the flour, baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and chives and process for 5 seconds to combine. Add the shortening and process until well combined, about 15 seconds. Add the milk and 2 tablespoons water. Process to bring the dough together.
  • Remove from the processor and knead 1 minute to form a ball. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside for 30 minutes.
  • Heat a cast-iron skillet until very hot. Divide the dough into 3 pieces and form each into a ball. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough in a 6 1/2-inch-diameter circle to less than 1/16 inch thick. Prick the dough with a fork, brush with the olive oil, and sprinkle with the kosher salt. Transfer the round of dough, with the oiled side down, to the hot skillet and reduce the heat to medium. Cook about 1 to 2 minutes on each side, until the surface is covered with golden to dark brown speckles. Remove the bread from the skillet and transfer to a baking sheet in a warm oven.
  • Repeat the rolling and cooking process with the remaining dough. Cut the bread into wedges with a pizza wheel or sharp knife and serve.
