Lebanese Mountain Bread - How to Make Lebanese-Style Flatbread

flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: all-purpose flour

Whole wheat flour adds fiber and nutrients.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Avocado oil has a higher smoke point and is healthier.

yeast

🥗Healthier: sourdough starter

💰Cheaper: baking powder

Sourdough adds flavor and is a natural leavening agent.

milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: water

Almond milk is lower in calories and can add a nutty flavor.

Combine 1/2 cup bread flour, 1 teaspoon dry active yeast, and 1 teaspoon sugar in a bowl.

Add 1/2 cup warm water and let sit until frothy, about 5 minutes.

Stir in 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt and 1 tablespoon olive oil.

Gradually add 1 cup bread flour, mixing until a dough forms.

Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth, adding more flour as needed, about 10 minutes.

Cover the dough and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.

Preheat the oven to a high temperature, around 475°F (245°C).

Divide the dough into equal portions and roll each into a thin circle.

Place the rolled dough on a baking stone or baking sheet.

Bake until puffed and lightly browned, about 3-5 minutes.
