Tomato Basil Flatbread

Heres a good one... I totally loved it for a change...

Easy...Less time taking...tasty



For the dough- All you need is:
3 cups- wheat flour
2 tsp- instant dry yeast
1 tsp- sugar
Salt to Taste
Water to knead
4-5 tsp olive oil

Topping:
2-3 medium sized tomatoes- thinly sliced
Salt to sprinkle 
Black pepper to sprinkle
Dried Basil to sprinkle

  • Take half cup of luke warm water (105-115 degrees Celsius), put 1 tsp of sugar and sprinkle 2 tsp of yeast. Let the yeast rise for 10 mins.
  • In a mixing bowl take flour, add salt, 2 tsp of olive oil.. mix well
  • Add the yeast and more water as required to knead into a soft dough.
  • Put 3 tsp of oil and smooth out the dough, cover the dish with a kitchen towel and let it rest for an hour.
  • The dough will rise almost double, punch out the extra air.
  • Section the dough into small balls and roll out into a circle.
  • Heat pan, put half tsp oil, on low flame- place the disc, on top put 3-4 thinly sliced tomatoes, sprinkle some salt, black pepper and dried basil.
  • Add another tsp oil on top, flip and sear it on high flame for 2 mins...
  • All done, flip on to a plate, you can cut with a pizza cutter or have it like that.
I liked this bread as it doesn't take that long, its nice and soft, fluffy and tangy.

Way healthier than store bought bread and good for a change... you can bite on to it just like that and don't need any accompaniments.

Foodie Out!!
