Preparation
- Activate the Yeast: In a mixing bowl, combine 2 teaspoons of dry yeast, 2 teaspoons of sugar, and 2/3 cup of warm water.
- Add 2/3 cup of warm milk to the bowl and stir to dissolve the yeast.
- Cover the bowl and let it sit for 10 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.
- Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, sift 500 grams of flour and add 1 teaspoon of salt.
- Pour the yeast mixture into the flour and mix with a spoon until a dough starts to form.
- Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and knead the dough by hand for about 2 minutes. The dough should be very soft and slightly sticky.
- Let the Dough Rise: Cover the dough with a clean cloth and place it in a warm area to rise for 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
- Shape the Flatbreads: Once the dough has risen, sprinkle a clean surface with flour and gently press the air out of the dough.
- Divide the dough into 6 equal parts and shape each part into a ball.
- Cover the dough balls to prevent them from drying out while you work.
- Using a rolling pin, roll each dough ball into a circle with a diameter of about 18 centimeters (7 inches) and a thickness of about 5 millimeters.
- Cook the Flatbreads: Heat a dry pan over medium heat.
- Place one of the rolled-out dough circles in the hot pan.
- Cook for about 3 minutes, or until bubbles start to appear on the surface. Flip the bread and cook the other side until golden brown.
- Repeat this process with the remaining dough, rolling out the next piece while one is cooking.
- Finish and Serve: Once each flatbread is cooked, immediately cover it with a tea towel to keep it soft.
- Finely chop some fresh parsley.
- Brush each warm flatbread with olive oil and sprinkle with chopped parsley and red pepper to taste.
