Today we're baking a super airy flatbread together in under 2 hours!

I'll give you a quick overview and show you two methods for shaping bread into rounds, for example, rolls or, in this case, our flatbread.

And now it's your turn: How or with what do you like to eat your flatbread? Filled, for example, with doner meat? With hummus or simply as a sandwich?

FLATBREAD

Ingredients: (for 4 small or 2 large)
Dough:
500 g wheat flour (type 550)

270 g water

12 g salt

15 g yeast

50 g yogurt

20 g olive oil

10 g sugar

Egg wash:

1 whole egg

10 g milk

10 g olive oil

Preparation:

Boil all dough ingredients for 4 minutes on low heat and 8 minutes on medium heat Knead the dough quickly.

Then let it rest for 15 minutes. Now divide the dough into either 2 large or 4 small equal pieces, shape them into rounds, and let them rise, covered, for 30 minutes.

To shape the flatbreads, place a piece of dough in front of you and gently flatten it.

Tip: Try to deflate the dough as little as possible.

Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and brush evenly with the mixed egg wash. Let everything rise, covered, for 1 hour.

Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 250°C (480°F) using conventional oven settings (top and bottom heat) with a baking steel or stone and a bowl or dish filled with sauna stones, stainless steel screws, or clean nuts. Now the flatbreads get their finishing touch. Press lines into the dough lengthwise with your fingers, then crosswise, creating a rectangular pattern. Finally, sprinkle the flatbreads with sesame seeds or nigella seeds. Now place the loaves in the oven and add about 70ml of water to the steam stones. Immediately reduce the temperature to 220°C (425°F) when placing the loaves in the oven and bake for about 10 to 15 minutes.
