Zucchini flatbreads are quick, soft, and tasty. They are prepared without using an oven and without leavening. They are cooked in a pan and in a few minutes are ready to be served either alone or filled.

They are a great snack, both to present as an accompaniment to an aperitif with friends, as an aperitif dinner, or simply as a bread substitute.

You can fill them with fresh tomato, cold cuts, or good cheese. Tomato gives them a touch of freshness and is still healthier compared to other ingredients.

And if you are going on a picnic, they are ideal! You can also prepare them in larger sizes and turn them into real hamburgers.

You can use any type of zucchini, whether light or dark, the result will be the same.

Steps for Preparing Zucchini Flatbreads

To prepare the good and soft zucchini flatbreads, start by washing the zucchinis and removing the ends.

Then, in a colander, grate the zucchinis with a vegetable grater. Then, salt them, mix well, and let them drain the excess water for half an hour in the colander. After the time has passed, squeeze them by hand and place them into a bowl.
Next, add the flour, the spreadable cheese,
then the extra virgin olive oil, the salt, and finally the instant yeast for savory preparations. Then, knead with your hands until you obtain a nice homogeneous and compact dough.
At this point, on a floured pastry board, roll out the dough with a rolling pin to obtain a sheet about 1/5 inch thick. Then with a round cutter, I used one 3 inches in diameter, cut out the flatbreads. The leftover dough will be kneaded again and the same initial procedure will be repeated to create more flatbreads.
Meanwhile, heat a slightly oiled non-stick pan well, then place our flatbreads on the pan and cook for 5 minutes on each side, on low heat and covered.
After the cooking time, let them cool and serve them either filled or not, and … enjoy your meal!
