Glad you asked Angela dear,
You will need:
1 C of warm water (85 - 115 f)
* 2 scant teaspoons of active dry yeast
* 1 tsp salt
* approximately 1 ½ to 2 C all purpose flour.
Place all dry ingredients in a bowl or food processor. Gradually add water til dough forms. Knead about 5mins by hand, 45seconds in machine. Divide into 12 pieces,raise in plastic covered bowl til double, roll flat into circles and let rest @10min. Heat a cast iron pan quite hot and set one circle on, flip often it should *PUFF* before too long, but sometimes some don't. They're done when they're lightly brown and puffed (or not). Cover with plastic and keep warm til ready to serve (but not too long)
Hope you have fun

If I wanted to make whole wheat, would the flour amount stay the same?

Now that is a VERY different recipe from mine--I will try this and see what the difference is---I kind of like mine baked though. Sounds like a fun experiment!!

Thanks, Cis

I think about the same, but maybe a bit less. Whole wheat tends to be drier IMHO. So either a little less flour or a bit more liquid. How about half white and half wheat flours, they'd be softer and nicer that way. Btw, I think I use high glute flour for these, but I can't remember darn!

Me too - I haven't made these since the days I wanted the kids to see how every darn thing under the sun was made/grown/whatever....don't think the kids ever gave a rat's a$$ tho.

Anyway, it's time to get back to the Mother Earth thang.
Retired and having fun writing cookbooks, tasting wine and sharing recipes with all my friends.

The San Francisco Chronicle ran an excellent article on flatbreads on 11 October. It ought to be available for awhile at:

Can't wait for the cookbook they mention to come out.
