Olivia’s Kitchen

It may sound intimidating to make your own flat bread but this recipe is actually incredibly simple and has a big pay off.  The recipe below is for a vegetarian version of a sandwich, but you can add some chicken or lamb with it for other delicious options.

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups of Flour

2 teaspoons of Baking Powder

1/4 teaspoon of Salt

1 1/4 cups of Whole Milk Greek Yogurt (it’s important to use full fat)

2 Tablespoons of Olive Oil

One medium Zucchini

One small Eggplant

One Red Bell Pepper

One Yellow Squash

Two Tablespoons of Olive Oil

Salt and Pepper

One Clove of Garlic

4-6 large leaves of Fresh Basil

Hummus

Recipe

Place the flour, baking powder, salt and yogurt in a large bowl and mix with a rubber spatula until a moist, shaggy dough forms. Dust a work surface with flour. Transfer the dough onto the work surface, sprinkle with more flour, and knead until smooth, 8 to 10 kneads.Divide the dough into 4 portions and roll each into a ball about 3 inches wide. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rest for 20 minutes. Heat a griddle, grill pan, 12-inch cast iron skillet, or nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat until a drop of water immediately sizzles on contact. Meanwhile, roll out the dough.Generously dust a work surface and rolling pin with flour. Roll 1 ball of dough into a 9-inch round about 1/8-inch thick, dusting with more flour as needed to prevent sticking.Brush the pan with a thin layer of oil or use a paper towel to coat the pan with a thin layer of oil. Place the flatbread in the pan and brush the top with a thin layer of oil. Cook until puffed and golden-brown in spots, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove to a cutting board.While the first flatbread is cooking, roll out the next ball of dough. Cook the remaining flatbreads, making sure to brush the pan and top of the flatbreads with oil each time.

Cut all the vegetable into thin (1/4 inch) thin slices.   Crush the garlic clove.  Toss the vegetables, garlic clove and some salt and pepper in a bowl with the olive oil.  Spread out in one layer on a sheet pan and place in a 400 degree oven and roast until browned, turning once.  Should take between 15 and 20 minutes.

To assemble the sandwich spread a generous layer of hummus on the flatbread.  Layer the roasted vegetables on the hummus and top with the fresh basil leaf.
