Lucky for you, I’ve got not one, but TWO flat bread recipes that’ll make your taste buds dance with joy. First up, we’ve got a delightful Flat Bread Recipe. This recipe is a classic, and perfect for dipping in hummus, tzatziki, or even just plain old olive oil. Let’s get started! Ingredients: - 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour - 1/2 teaspoon salt - 1/2 teaspoon baking powder - 1/2 cup water - Olive oil (for brushing) Tools: - Mixing bowl - Rolling pin - Baking sheet - Oven (duh) - Paintbrush (for olive oil brushing purposes only) How to make: 1. Preheat your oven to 400°F. 2. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and baking powder. 3. Slowly add in the water, stirring until the dough comes together. 4. Knead the dough on a floured surface for a few minutes until it becomes smooth. 5. Divide the dough into four equal parts. 6.

Place the dough on a baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the flat bread is lightly golden and crispy.
