Griddle Flat Bread
This is a great, easy flat bread recipe that makes a delicious side dish to any meal. These can be used for making pita sandwiches, pizza or pretty much anything.

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 5 minutes

Total Time: 20 minutes

Yield: Makes 4 or 5 breads

Ingredients:

  • 3 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 cup ice water
  • 3 tablespoons shortening
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • pinch of baking soda

Preparation:

Combine all ingredients and form into a dough. Cut into 4 or 5 equal pieces. Roll out to a thin 8 inch circle. Prick the surface of the dough with a fork and cook on an oiled hot griddle. Turn with a spatula. Watch these flat bread disks closely because they cook fast. Serve warm.

DELICIOUS!, Member nbottini

I have made this countless times, especially when I'm out of bread in the house (I'm a graduate student and it happens often!). My favorite change-up is to sub the flour for a combo of rolled oats and whole wheat flour and use olive oil instead of shortening. It's great as a breakfast toast substitute with honey or peanut butter!
