Moroccan Style Olive Oil Flatbread


  • Author: Alessia

Ingredients

Scale

Creating Moroccan-style olive oil flatbread requires a handful of simple, high-quality ingredients. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon instant yeast
  • 1/2 cup warm water
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • Additional olive oil for brushing

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

  1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, sugar, and yeast until well combined.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Stir the mixture until a sticky dough forms.
  3. 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

  1. 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

  1. 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.
  2. Roll Out the Dough: On a floured surface, roll each dough ball into a flat circle, about 1/4 inch thick.
  3. Preheat the Skillet: Heat a skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Lightly brush the surface with olive oil.
  4. 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

  1. Brush with Olive Oil: Once cooked, brush each flatbread with a light layer of olive oil for added flavor and softness.
