Spiced Flatbread Recipes

Steps:

• Mix 1 1/2 cups flour, 3/4 cup whole-milk yogurt, 2 teaspoons everything seasoning, 1 teaspoon each baking powder and kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon baking soda with a fork. Cover and let rest, 20 minutes. With floured hands, pat into a 10-by-12-inch rectangle on floured parchment. Bake (on the parchment) on a hot pizza stone at 475˚ until the bottom is browned, 8 minutes. Top with melted butter and more everything seasoning.

Steps:

• If making the paste, use a food processor, electric spice mill or pestle and mortar to blend together the garlic, chilli, sesame seeds and ground spice to a thick paste. Work in the oil, then the coriander, to a spreading paste and season. Set aside.
• Put the flours, 1 tsp salt and yeast into a large bowl and mix. Stir 120ml tepid water into the melted butter, then mix this into the flour, adding extra drops of tepid water until you have a smooth dough. Knead on a lightly floured surface for 5 mins, then return to the bowl, cover and leave in a warm place to rise until doubled in size. This should take 1 hr.
• Divide the dough into 8 balls. Roll out each ball on a lightly floured surface to a rough 18cm circle the thickness of a 10p coin. Prick each one well with a fork to stop them rising. To cook on a barbecue: put the breads on the centre of the grill. Cook for a few mins, then turn and cook the other side. If using the paste, spread 1 tsp on one side as the breads come off the heat. Otherwise, brush the breads with more melted butter. Reheat the griddle between batches and stack them on top of each other to keep warm.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F for at least 20 minutes. Dust a large baking sheet with fine cornmeal.
• Cut the pizza dough into 4 equal pieces. Stretch or roll each piece out on a lightly floured work surface into a 6- to 8-inch round or oval. Arrange the dough rounds on the prepared baking sheet and drizzle them with oil. Bake in the preheated oven until puffed and browned in spots, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the beef and a generous pinch each of salt and pepper. Cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until the fat starts to render, about 3 minutes. Add the shallot and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until the beef is cooked through, about 5 minutes; spoon off any excess fat.
• Add the tomato paste, cinnamon, coriander and cumin. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the broth and simmer until the beef is coated in a light sauce, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat and season with salt and pepper.
• Spoon the spiced beef onto the flatbreads and drizzle with yogurt. Top the flatbreads with parsley, lemon zest and lemon juice. Serve immediately, passing crushed red pepper at the table if you like.
