Grilled Flatbread With Cucumber Yogurt Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Stir together the yogurt, garlic, lemon zest and juice, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium bowl until combined. Add the cucumbers, shallot, dill and mint; stir until the cucumbers are well coated. Serve sprinkled with dill and mint.

Steps:

• Mix yeast with water. Add flour and salt. Mix for 15 minutes. Add more flour if dough seems wet. Should clean sides of bowl but be semi-sticky.
• Proof in an oiled container for approximately 1 hour. Roll into 3-ounce balls on a semolina sprinkled sheet pan. Cover and refrigerate.
• Mix zatar ingredients to combine. Set aside at room temperature.
• Put drained goat yogurt in a mixing bowl and add the remaining sauce ingredients.
• Preheat as grill to medium heat.
• When ready to grill, take a ball of dough and with your hands or a rolling pin, stretch the dough to about an 8-inch circle. Brush lightly with olive oil and grill on medium fire until it starts to puff. Flip and cook on other side for about 1 minute more. Place on a kitchen towel and cover until all doughs are cooked.
• Take the warm flatbread, drizzle with 1 to 2 tablespoons of zatar, drizzle with yogurt sauce and roll up taco or wrap style. For a more substantial meal, add your favorite grilled meat and top with any combination of your favorite items, like: chopped romaine, sliced red onion, cucumbers, tomatoes, mint, cilantro and/or feta cheese

Steps:

• In a bowl combine all the ingredients.

Steps:

• Quarter the cucumber pieces and place in a mixing bowl. Add the onions and season with salt. Mix to combine as you prepare the rest of the salad. This will start to draw out moisture, which will help thin out the dressing.
• In a mixing bowl, whisk together the sour cream, vinegar, olive oil, hot sauce and garlic. Add the dill and season with salt and pepper. Pour over the cucumbers and onions and mix to combine. Let sit in the refrigerator for 2 hours. Serve!

Steps:

• Mix water and yeast in a large bowl and let stand 5 minutes to proof. Gradually pour in 2 cups of the flour and stir to incorporate. Mix for about 1 minute to form a sponge. Let stand, covered, for at least 1 hour.
• Put sponge in the bowl of a stand mixer. Using the dough hook, add the salt and oil, then add the flour, 1/2 cup at a time, to form a dough. Remove from bowl and knead. Place in a clean oiled bowl and let rise, slowly, about 2 1/2 hours. Divide dough into 4 balls, let rise again for 1/2 hour, and then roll out as desired.

Steps:

• Whisk 3 tablespoons warm water (100 to 110 degrees F; see Cook's Note) with the honey in a small bowl until dissolved. Stir in the yeast and let sit until it begins to bubble, about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk together the flour and salt in a separate bowl. Make a well in the center and add the yogurt and 2/3 cup warm water. Stir the water and yogurt together in the well, then stir in the yeast mixture. Using a rubber spatula, fold the mixture together until it forms a rough ball of dough; the dough will have a shaggy texture. Lightly dust a clean work surface with flour and knead the dough until it becomes smooth, 3 to 5 minutes. If the dough begins to stick to your hands, lightly flour them and continue to knead. Add the dough back to the bowl, cover with a clean towel and allow to rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
• Punch down the dough. At this point, you can proceed with baking below, or you can freeze the dough. To freeze, place the dough in a resealable freezer bag, squeeze out excess air and store in the freezer for up to 3 months. Defrost the dough in the refrigerator the night before you want to make the flatbreads.
• To cook the flatbreads, lightly dust a clean work surface with flour. Divide the dough into 12 pieces, about 2 ounces each. Roll each piece of dough into a ball, then flatten into a circle with your palm. Roll each dough circle into a roughly 6- to 7-inch round, but don't worry if the flatbread takes on another shape, as long as it is approximately 1/4 inch thick. If the dough begins to stick to the rolling pin or board, just dust with more flour.
• Heat a 10-inch or larger cast-iron pan or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly grease with vegetable oil. When the pan just begins to smoke, reduce the heat to medium and add 1 to 2 flatbreads or whatever fits in the pan without any overlap. Cook until bubbles appear on the top of the dough and the bottom is cooked and deep brown in spots, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip and cook until completely cooked through, another 1 to 2 minutes. Remove to a baking sheet to cool and repeat with the remaining flatbreads. If the pan gets too hot, just remove from the heat to let cool slightly, then wipe out the pan, grease with a little more oil and resume cooking the flatbreads.
• When all the flatbreads are cooked, let cool completely. Eat immediately or wrap in a clean towel and store at room temperature for 1 day. To freeze: To ensure fresh, warm flatbreads every time, stack the flatbreads with a piece of parchment between each (see Cook's Note) and then place in a resealable freezer bag. Push out the excess air and freeze for up to about 2 months.
• To reheat, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Remove the desired number of flatbreads from the freezer and place on a baking sheet in a flat layer. Bake from frozen until the flatbreads are warmed through and soft, 3 to 4 minutes. Alternatively, you can toast the flatbreads from frozen in a toaster oven for about 3 minutes on the toaster setting.

Steps:

• Heat a grill or grill pan until hot. Place water in a medium bowl, and sprinkle yeast on top; stir to dissolve. Let sit until foamy, about 5 minutes. Add olive oil, flour, and salt; combine. Turn dough out onto a well-floured surface, and knead until smooth and elastic, 1 to 2 minutes. Place in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let stand in a warm place for 30 minutes.
• Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide into 4 equal pieces, and roll out each into a 1/8-inch-thick round. Lightly brush both sides of each round with olive oil, and place the rounds directly on the hot grill. Grill the flatbread until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Remove from grill, and season with salt.

Steps:

• Whisk together the salt, sugar, yeast and 1 cup warm water in a large bowl. Let the mixture sit until it begins to froth, about 5 minutes, then add the flour and mix until well combined. (If the dough is very dry, add more warm water a tablespoon at a time to moisten it.) Cover and let rise somewhere warm for about an hour.
• Meanwhile, prepare a grill; the heat should be medium-high and the rack about 4 inches from the fire. When the dough has puffed up, transfer it to a well-floured surface and knead until soft and silky, 5 to 8 minutes.
• Cut the dough into 8 equally sized pieces and roll each one out until it's about 6 inches in diameter; don't worry about making these perfectly round, but try to keep them relatively even in thickness. Brush one side of the breads with olive oil and put as many on the grill, oiled side down, as will comfortably fit at one time. While the first side cooks, brush the side facing you with more oil; when the breads begin to brown and puff up, flip them. When the second side is nicely browned, remove from the grill and sprinkle with the za'atar, if you'd like. Serve immediately.
