I think that if not every housewife, then many are familiar with the situation when there is no bread at home, but there is either nowhere to buy it, or there is simply no way to go to the store. It’s for such cases that a simple recipe for flatbreads from yeast dough.
Making flatbreads from yeast dough is very simple. It is mixed in water without any dough; it does not need to sit for a long time or rest after molding. Baking is also simple - without steam, a hot stone and other attributes. The only thing they recommend doing is to heat the baking sheet together with the oven and transfer the parchment with the cakes onto the hot sheet. But you can do it as usual - immediately place the cakes on a baking sheet, let them rise a little and put them in a hot oven. I didn’t notice much of a difference, so do what’s most convenient for you.

Ingredients:

- dry yeast – 1 tsp;
- water – 200 ml;
- sugar – 2 tsp;
- salt – 1.5 tsp;
- vegetable oil (or butter, any fat) – 2 tbsp. spoons;
- flour – 300 gr;
- sesame, cumin or cumin - for sprinkling the flatbreads.

Preparation

Pour dry yeast and sugar into a bowl. Pour in 100-120 ml. good warm water (so that your finger feels hot, but does not get burned). Stir, cover and leave the dissolved yeast for 10-15 minutes to activate.





Thick foam and air bubbles should appear on the surface - this means that the yeast has begun to “work” and you can knead the dough into flat cakes.





Sift 300 grams of wheat flour into a bowl.







Pour the diluted yeast into the flour, stir until the flour is moistened.





Add the remaining water (if it has cooled, heat it up), vegetable oil, add salt. Add less or more salt, to taste. If you follow the recipe, the dough will turn out salty. Instead of vegetable oil You can add melted lard or melt butter.





Knead into a soft, sticky dough. It is more convenient to knead it using food processor or in a bread maker. If you knead with your hands, grease your palms with oil and knead not on the table, but in a bowl, so that it sticks less to the surface. During the kneading process, you can add a little more flour, but the dough should not become tight or dense, it will be softer than for pies or bread.







Cover the kneaded dough and place in a warm place for one hour. During this time we do not knead; the dough does not need kneading. In an hour (or a little earlier) the dough will be ready for baking. It will rise, increase in volume two to three times, and become very soft and airy.





Carefully remove the dough from the bowl and divide into four parts. We stretch each one with our hands on baking paper into an oval or round cake. Let sit on the counter for a little while (about 15 minutes while the oven warms up). Before baking, brush with water and sprinkle with cumin, sesame or cumin seeds (you can do it without sprinkling).





Preheat the oven with a baking sheet to 220 degrees. We transfer the cakes along with the paper to a hot baking sheet and put them in the oven. After five minutes, reduce the temperature to 200 degrees and bake for another 10-12 minutes until the cakes are browned. We serve hot flatbreads with first courses, meat, spreads, and dips. It is better to serve them cooled or warm with salads and pates. Bon appetit!
