Olive and Rosemary Flatbreads

Olive and rosemary flatbreads, yeast-free, if you want something quick and tasty, dive in and prepare these flatbreads. Mine are made with Taggiasca olives and fresh rosemary, but know that you choose the ingredients; you can replace them with sun-dried tomatoes or pumpkin, sage, and oregano, or even just plain if you don’t have bread at home and don’t want to go out to buy it, you can always prepare these quickly. I often make them for quick appetizers or snacks, to accompany vegetables and more with a good glass of wine.

Steps to Prepare Olive and Rosemary Flatbreads

  • In the glass bowl, I combine all ingredients. Flour and salt, water and extra virgin olive oil, fresh chopped rosemary (otherwise dry is fine too).

  • On the cutting board, I chop the olives and add them to the bowl with the other ingredients.

  • First, I use the whisk to mix water and oil, and then I continue with my hands.

  • I let the flatbread dough rest for about thirty minutes.

  • I take the dough, divide it into 4 parts, and roll it out.

  • If you prefer, you can also make the flatbreads smaller by dividing them into six parts.

  • I place them on a baking sheet with parchment paper and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. You can use two options to cook them, either in the oven at 375°F for 15 minutes or in the microwave on Crisp mode for 5 minutes at maximum power.

  • And here they are, ready: olive and rosemary flatbreads to replace bread or simply to prepare a tasty appetizer.

FAQ (Questions and Answers)

  • Can the flatbreads be prepared with other ingredients?

    Yes, of course, flatbreads can be prepared without olives but with sun-dried tomatoes, oregano, or sage, according to your taste.

  • Can I use dried rosemary instead of fresh in the flatbreads?

    Yes, certainly, dried rosemary is more convenient as it is already finely cut for sale.

in cucina con pina

My name is Pina, and my passion is food and cooking in general. On the blog, I focus on regional dishes like those from my birthplace, Sicily. I also feature dishes from Lazio, the region that has hosted me for over 40 years, but in general, I cover all Italian regions. Traveling and exploring is my second passion, so I couldn't leave out dishes from around the "World" on my blog. My blog is divided into simple and essential sections like appetizers, first courses, main courses, side dishes, bread and leavened products, jams and preserves, wines and wineries, and of course, travels. Desserts are included, and finally, there is a dedicated corner for gluten-free options. Easy recipes, explained step by step and always updated.
