Flatbread

Ingredients

• •Topping:
• •1/2 cup zataar spice
• •1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• •Juice of 2 lemons
• •3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
• •Bread:
• •1 tablespoon yeast
• •2 cups water
• •2 teaspoons sugar
• •1 3/4 teaspoons salt
• •2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• •2 cups unbleached, all-purpose flour
• •5 cups unbleached bread flour
• •1 3/4 teaspoons salt

Directions

1. 1For topping, stir together all ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.
2. 2For bread, whisk together yeast, water and sugar. Stir in oil and all flour except for 1-cup of whole wheat. Add the salt.
3. 3Knead the bread dough for 8 to10 minutes to form an elastic, supple dough, adding reserved flour as required.
4. 4Place dough in a well-greased large bowl, cover with plastic wrap and a tea towel and let rise until doubled. Otherwise, allow dough a long, cool rise in the refrigerator for several hours or longer (up to three days).
5. 5Bring dough to room temperature before using. It will rise as it warms. Break off sections of dough, about the size of a grapefruit. Stretch or roll into irregular slabs. Let rest 15 minutes, covered with a tea towel.
6. 6Spoon on some zataar mixture. Preheat grill to hot. Lay slabs gently on grill.
7. 7Close cover for one to two minutes, then check doneness. Allow to bake until tops begin to brown. Brush with additional topping if desired.
