Ingredients

• 2 ½ cups Indiana wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 cup warm water
• 1 packet active dry yeast
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• Extra butter for grilling
• Assorted dipping sauces (hummus, tzatziki, or garlic butter)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the dough

1. In a bowl, mix warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
2. In a separate large bowl, combine Indiana wheat flour and salt.
3. Slowly pour in the yeast mixture and melted butter, stirring to combine.
4. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth.
5. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise for 1 hour until doubled in size.

Step 2: Fire up the Arteflame Grill

1. Pour some vegetable oil on three paper napkins and place them inside the fire pit.
2. Stack firewood over the oiled napkins and light them.
3. Allow the grill to heat up for about 20 minutes until the cooktop is evenly hot.

Step 3: Shape the flatbreads

1. Once risen, divide the dough into 6 portions.
2. Roll each portion into a thin round shape.

Step 4: Grill the flatbreads

1. Spread butter on the flat cooktop griddle of the Arteflame grill.
2. Place the flatbreads onto the grill, cooking near the center for the best heat exposure.
3. Cook for about 1-2 minutes per side until bubbles form and golden brown spots appear.

Step 5: Serve

1. Remove the flatbreads from the grill and brush them lightly with extra butter.
2. Serve warm with a variety of dipping sauces.

Tips

• If the flatbreads puff up too much, use a spatula to press them gently as they cook.
• Cook the flatbreads in different heat zones on the Arteflame to control crispiness.
• For added flavor, mix in herbs or garlic into the dough.

Variations

1. Garlic Herb Flatbreads: Add minced garlic and mixed herbs to the dough.
2. Cheesy Flatbreads: Fold shredded cheese into the dough for a gooey inside.
3. Whole Wheat Flatbreads: Replace half of the white flour with whole wheat flour for a nuttier flavor.
4. Spicy Flatbreads: Mix chili flakes into the dough for a kick of heat.
5. Sweet Flatbreads: Add honey and cinnamon for a dessert-style variation.
