An easy flatbread recipe with minced zucchini, onion and herbs that are cooked on the stovetop.
Prep Time 25 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Proofing Time 1 hour 15 minutes
Total Time 2 hours
Servings 8 pieces

Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup shredded zucchini  38 oz 
  • ¼ cup finely minced onions 1.5 oz
  • 1 tsp rosemary or other herbs
  • 1 tsp salt .2 oz
  • ½ +  1/8  cup  water 6 oz
  • 2 ½ cups All purpose flour or a mix with some whole wheat 12 oz

Instructions
 

  • Shred the zucchini and mince the onion and herbs.
  • Place water in a mixing bowl. 
  • Add yeast and salt and stir to dissolve them.
  • Add the zucchini, onion, and herb and stir well.
  • Pour in the flour and mix well until the flour is all moistened. The dough will be stiff until the zucchini releases its water. You can substitute a cup of whole wheat flour, but if you do, add another 2 teaspoons (.3 oz) of water to the recipe.
  • Knead with the dome for about a minute.
  • Cover with a heavy wet cloth and allow the dough to double in bulk.
  • Flour a work surface and scrape the dough onto it.
  • Cut the proofed dough into 8 pieces.  An easy way to do this is to first roll it into a cylinder, section the cylinder into four similar-sized pieces and cut each of these in half. 
  • Take each piece and fold dough edges to the underside to form dough balls or roll them between your hands.
  • Allow the dough to rest and rise at least 20 minutes.
  • Roll the dough balls one at a time with a rolling pin to a diameter of 6 to 7 inches.
  • Bake them on a frying pan or griddle over medium heat until slightly browned on each side, about 3 minutes per side. Use two frying pans to halve the cooking time.
