Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 cup warm water
• 1/4 cup Welsh laverbread
• 2 tbsp melted butter (plus extra for grilling)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Arteflame Grill

1. Pour a little vegetable oil on three paper napkins.
2. Place the soaked napkins in the grill and stack the firewood over them.
3. Light the napkins and allow the grill to heat up for about 20 minutes.

Step 2: Make the Dough

1. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, and baking powder.
2. Mix in the warm water, laverbread, and melted butter.
3. Knead the dough until smooth, then cover and let rest for 15 minutes.

Step 3: Shape the Flatbreads

1. Divide the dough into 4 equal parts.
2. Roll each piece into a thin, round flatbread.

Step 4: Grill the Flatbreads

1. Brush the flat cooktop of the Arteflame grill with melted butter.
2. Place the flatbreads on the griddle near the center, where the heat is highest.
3. Cook for 1-2 minutes until bubbles start forming.
4. Flip and cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes, until golden and slightly charred.

Step 5: Serve

1. Remove the flatbreads from the grill.
2. Brush with extra melted butter, if desired.
3. Serve warm with your favorite grilled meats, cheeses, or dips.

Tips

• For extra flavor, mix in chopped herbs like rosemary or thyme into the dough.
• Resting the dough allows the gluten to relax, making rolling easier.
• Keep an eye on the heat zones—cook near the center for a quick char, or towards the edges for a slower cook.

Variations

1. Cheesy Laverbread Flatbreads: Add 1/2 cup of shredded sharp cheddar into the dough for a rich, melty texture.
2. Garlic Herb Laverbread Flatbreads: Mix in minced garlic and fresh parsley for a fragrant, savory twist.
3. Spicy Laverbread Flatbreads: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper and chili flakes for a warm, spicy kick.
4. Sweet Honey Laverbread Flatbreads: Drizzle honey over the cooked flatbreads for a sweet, salty combination.
5. Seeded Crunch Laverbread Flatbreads: Sprinkle sesame and flax seeds into the dough for added crunch.
