Ingredients

  • 1 lb pizza dough
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • small bunch of fresh chopped parsley
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and cut it into 8 equal parts. Roll each piece of dough into a round ball.
  • Roll out each dough ball to approximately a 5 to 6 inch circle. Repeat for all dough balls.
  • Heat a skillet over high heat. Spray each uncooked dough disk with water. Place water side down onto the hot surface. After about 2 minutes air bubbles will start to appear in the flatbread. Flip the bread and cook the other side for 2- 3 minutes. Remove from the skillet and repeat for all bread.
  • Brush the cooked flatbread with olive oil and sprinkle over fresh parsley.

Notes

  1. Using leftover pizza dough - It's best to have the dough out of the fridge and bring it to room temperature before using. Warm dough is easier to work with and will roll much easier than cold dough. As well, the rising agent in the dough responds better with room temperature dough.
  2. Use a heavy bottomed skillet - If you have cast iron, use it! If not, use the heaviest skillet you have for this bread. Thin bottomed skillets produce uneven heat and will heat up much quicker and will possibly burn the flatbread.
  3. Make sure not to burn the bread - flatbread cooks quickly and each stove and cooking surface is different. This could cook in as little as two to three minutes. As well, it could take six to seven minutes to cook.
  4. Wrap in a cloth - As you cook and stack the flatbreads, wrap them in a clean tea towel. This will keep them soft.
