Flatbread Dough Recipe With Yeast

I'm obsessed with the simplicity of this recipe. Mix a few things together, let it sit in the fridge to ferment, and you've got yourself a flatbread dough to fulfill all your pizza dreams. The best part is, you can make the dough ahead of time and let it sit in the refrigerator for up to five days!

Here's what you'll need...

You'll Need:

– 1 teaspoon active dry yeast – 2 teaspoons sugar – 2 ¼ cups, plus more for dusting bread flour – ¾ teaspoons fine sea salt – 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil – ¼ cup whole milk plain Greek yogurt

Equipment:

– Mixing Bowls – Whisk – Rubber Spatula – Metal Baking Sheet

Instructions:

In a small saucepan, warm ½ cup (113 grams) of water over medium-low heat until it reaches 110°F on an instant-read thermometer. Transfer water to a medium bowl. 

Instructions:

Whisk in the yeast and sugar until both are dissolved. Allow the mixture to sit until it’s foamy on top, about 5 minutes. Whisk together bread flour and salt in a large bowl. Add in yeast and water mixture. 

Instructions:

Mix together with a silicone spatula until water has absorbed. Add in olive oil and Greek yogurt. Continue to mix until a shaggy dough forms, some flour may still remain in the bowl.

Instructions:

Using clean hands, pour the dough onto a clean work surface. Continue to incorporate any loose flour and knead the dough by hand for an additional five minutes. Place dough into a greased medium sized bowl. 

Instructions:

Cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for 6 hours (or up to 5 days) to allow for a cold rise. When you're ready to bake the flatbread, allow the dough to come to room temperature by placing on the counter for 30-60 minutes. 

Instructions:

Heat oven to 450°F (230°C). Dust a clean work surface with a light dusting of flour. Cut flatbread dough in half. Roll one piece of dough with a rolling pin into a rectangular shape (about 6 x 12 inches). 

Instructions:

Place the dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Top with desired toppings. Bake for 13-17 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the cheese has melted.
