Mediterranean Flatbread with Fresh Herbs & Hummus
A quick and delicious Mediterranean flatbread topped with fresh herbs and hummus, perfect for snacks or gatherings.
Ingredients
Flatbread Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour plus extra for dusting
- 1/2 cup warm water
- 1 tsp active dry yeast
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Toppings
- Fresh herbs (parsley, thyme, oregano) to taste
- Your favorite hummus store-bought or homemade
Instructions
Preparation
- In a bowl, combine the warm water and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it gets frothy.
- Add flour, salt, and olive oil to the yeast mixture. Combine until a dough forms.
- On a floured surface, knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until it feels smooth and elastic.
- Place your dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise until it doubles in size (about 1 hour).
Cooking
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently and roll it out to your desired thickness (about 1/4 inch thick).
- Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Cook each flatbread for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they’re golden brown and slightly crispy.
- While it’s still warm, sprinkle fresh herbs all over the flatbread.
Serving
- Serve your Mediterranean flatbread with your choice of hummus spread on top.
Notes
For extra crunch, you can toss the flatbreads in a touch of garlic powder before cooking. Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in a skillet for best results.
