Ingredients for the Easy and Tasty Flatbread with Oil Recipe
- 2 3/4 cups All-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup Extra virgin olive oil
- to taste Water at room temperature (I use about 3/4 cup)
- 1 pinch Fine salt
Tools Needed for the Recipe
- Kitchen Scale
- Rolling Pin
- Wooden Board
- Bowl
Preparation
Take a bowl, add the flour and salt, and mix.
Now add the oil and, while stirring with a spoon, start adding the water. When you see that the dough becomes workable without sticking to your hands, stop adding water.
Transfer the oil flatbread dough onto a floured board and knead it until you get a smooth dough. Form a ball, put it in a freezer bag, seal it, and let the dough rest in the fridge for at least 1 hour before using it.
How to cook the flatbread with oil: after 1 hour of resting in the fridge, take the dough out, divide it into 6 equal parts, roll them out thinly, using a little flour, roll them all out.
Place a non-stick pan on high heat, and once it’s hot, cook one flatbread at a time for a few minutes on each side (about 4 minutes per side) until you see dark bubbles forming and the flatbread with oil is ready to be served, enjoy your meal!
You can enjoy the oil flatbreads filled with various cold cuts in a savory version or, if you want a sweet version, they are perfect with Nutella or jam. For those with cold cuts, you can do it this way: cook them not completely, then fill them with whatever you want, fold them, and bake them for a few minutes in a hot oven just before serving.
You can fill the flatbread with oil with easy baked eggplants and some slices of melting cheese!
