On flatbread

Yesterday, I made some gorgeous Naan. It was really good, but I think I can do better. So, I am changing the recipe to see what I can come up with. I am combining several flatbread recipes to make this. This is an italian herb flatbread served with a leftover spaghetti sauce I created the other night.

So, here goes.

Mood: Angry, lonely, restless, nervous.

Recipe:

3 Teaspoons yeast
1 cup water
pinch of sugar

Combine and let sit 10-15 minutes until frothy.

Add yeast mixture to:
1 egg beaten
1/4 cup buttermilk
1 T lard
3 t salt
1/4 cup sugar
dry italian herbs to taste
minced garlic to taste
Add enough all purpose flour to form soft dough. (about 5 cups, maybe more or less depending on humidity)

kneed for 15 minutes then let rise for 1 hour. Punch down and pinch off small pieces and roll into balls. Place on cookie sheet and cover. Let rise 30 minutes then roll out to flat, thin rounds. place on heated griddle, brush top side with melted butter. Grill about 3-5 minutes per side then flip, brush second side with butter. I topped warm flat bread with leftover spaghetti sauce and parm cheese.
