Ingredients
Flatbread Dough
- 130 grams (~1 cup) roasted sweet potato
- 180 ml (¾ cup) room temperature water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (plus more for frying)
- 350 grams (2 ⅓ cups) spelt flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- Mash Sweet Potato: Place the cooked sweet potato in a large mixing bowl and mash well with a fork. Add the water and olive oil, then mix thoroughly to combine all ingredients evenly.
- Make the Dough: Add the spelt flour, baking powder, and sea salt to the bowl. Use a wooden spoon or spatula to mix until no streaks of flour remain and a soft ball of dough forms.
- Divide Dough: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and divide it into eight equal pieces. Roll each piece into a rough ball with your hands, adding flour as needed to prevent sticking.
- Roll Out Flatbreads: Using a rolling pin, roll each dough ball into a round shape about 1 cm (~¼ inch) thick.
- Heat Pan: Heat a frying pan over medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil once hot. The oil helps achieve a nice golden crust and prevents sticking.
- Fry Flatbreads: Place one rolled-out flatbread into the hot pan. Cook for about 45 seconds per side, flipping once the first side is golden brown. The bread should bubble and puff up; if it doesn’t, the pan isn’t hot enough.
- Repeat Cooking: Continue rolling out the remaining dough pieces and frying each flatbread until all are cooked. Serve the flatbreads warm for best texture and flavor.
- Storage: Leftover flatbreads can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for a couple of days or frozen for longer storage.
Notes
- Ensure the pan is sufficiently hot before cooking each flatbread to achieve puffing and bubbling.
- Add extra flour as needed while rolling to prevent dough from sticking.
- These flatbreads freeze well and can be reheated in a pan or oven.
- Use roasted sweet potato for the best natural sweetness and moisture.
