Greek Flatbread

Step 1

Dissolve honey in the warm water.

Step 2

Add yeast and let it dissolve and start to foam.

Step 3

In a large bowl, mix together salt and 3 1/2 cups of flour. Add the yeast mixture, oil, and milk.

Step 4

Mix with a wooden spoon until the dough begins to come together. Then, turn the dough out onto the counter and knead until smooth, adding the remaining flour as needed to create a soft dough that doesn't stick to your hands.

Step 5

Place the dough back in the bowl, and let set, covered, for 1 hour, until doubled in bulk.

Step 6

When you are ready to cook the flatbread, preheat your oven to 375F.

Step 7

Knock back the dough and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball.

Step 8

Roll the pieces out into circles ¼” thick using short strokes of the rolling pin.

Step 9

Place the rolled out flatbread on a greased baking sheet and let rest for 10 minutes.

Step 10

Bake for 7-8 minutes, until cooked through and springy to the touch.

Step 11

Remove the cooked flatbread from the baking pan and immediately place them in a paper bag to cool. (The steam from the cooling bread in the bag will keep the flatbread soft and pliable.)
