Almond Mix Flat Bread Recipe For Breakfast

Flat Bread Cooking Ingredients

  • Dry yeast (active) – 1 packet
  • All purpose flour – 4 cups
  • Swiss cheese (grated) – 1/2 cup
  • Coarse sea salt – 1/2 teaspoon
  • Almonds – 1/3 cup (sliced)
  • Salt – 1 teaspoon
  • Olive oil – 2 tablespoons
  • Black pepper – 1/2 teaspoon
  • Warm water – 1 ¼ cup (heated between 120 and 130 degree Fahrenheit)

Method of Preparation:

  1. Almond flatbread is best enjoyed with a bowl of soup. It also acts as a good appetizer, prior to a meal.
  2. Take a big bowl and put in the salt and yeast. Add one and a quarter cup of all purpose flour to the bowl. Mix them well and add a tablespoon of olive oil.
  3. Add 11/4 cups of warm water to the dough and put the mixture into an electric mixer for about for about thirty seconds. Scrape the sides of the bowl to make sure that there are no lumps in your mixture. Use it at maximum speed for three minutes so that you have a thin even paste.
  4. Add the rest of the flour to the mixture gradually and mix it continuously to prevent lumps.
  5. Remove the dough and place it on a flat surface and knead it, till it is elastic and smooth.
  6. Roll the dough into a ball and keep in a greased vessel. Cover the vessel and keep it aside for an hour, in a warm place. The dough will rise to almost twice its original size.
  7. Dust a flat working surface with flour and knead the dough vigorously and thoroughly. Divide the dough into two equal portions and place them on a baking sheet for ten minutes.
  8. Flatten the two portions of dough and make a dent of half inch depth in each portion  and apply a coat of olive oil. Top it up with pepper, cheese, coarse salt and almonds.
  9. Keep the dough aside for about twenty minutes which will allow it to rise once more.
  10. Heat the oven to 375 degree Fahrenheit and place the bread in for half an hour. Remove the golden colored bread and let it cool.
