Instructions
Making your own Moroccan-style olive oil flatbread is a straightforward process. Follow these steps to achieve the perfect loaf:
Step 1: Prepare the Dough
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, sugar, and yeast until well combined.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Stir the mixture until a sticky dough forms.
- Knead the Dough: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for about 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, sprinkle a little more flour as needed.
Step 2: Let the Dough Rise
- First Rise: Place the kneaded dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and allow it to rise in a warm place for about 1 to 1.5 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
Step 3: Shape and Cook the Bread
- Divide and Shape: Punch down the risen dough to remove excess air. Divide it into 6 equal pieces and shape each piece into a ball.
- Roll Out the Dough: On a floured surface, roll each dough ball into a flat circle, about 1/4 inch thick.
- Preheat the Skillet: Heat a skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Lightly brush the surface with olive oil.
- Cook the Flatbread: Place the rolled-out dough into the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown spots appear. Repeat with the remaining pieces.
Step 4: Final Touch
- Brush with Olive Oil: Once cooked, brush each flatbread with a light layer of olive oil for added flavor and softness.
