flatbread
Ingredients
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • flour for dusting
  • Kosher salt and chili flakes for sprinkling
Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  2. Combine the oregano, milk, olive oil, and 2 tablespoons water.
  3. In a medium bowl, lightly whisk the egg yolks and the egg. Stir in the milk and set aside.
  4. Combine the flour and salt in a large bowl and make a well in the center. Pour the egg mixture into the center. Using a fork or your hands, slowly gather the flour into the liquid, adding more flour as needed, mixing until a dough forms. Dust your work surface with flour.
  5. Transfer the dough to the floured work surface and knead until smooth, about 10 minutes. Cover the dough with a damp towel and let rest for 10 minutes.
  6. On a lightly- floured work surface, roll out the dough to a 10-inch round. Using a fork, prick holes all over the surface of the dough. If you want strips cut them now before you bake.
  7. If using a pizza stone, place the dough directly on it. Otherwise, place the dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake the flatbread for about 12 minutes, or until golden brown.
  8. Sprinkle the warm bread with salt and chili flakes.
