Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 3/4 cup warm water
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• 1 tablespoon butter (for grilling)
• Assorted dips (hummus, tzatziki, or roasted red pepper dip)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Arteflame Grill

1. Pour some vegetable oil on three paper napkins and place them in the center of the grill.
2. Stack firewood over the oil-soaked napkins.
3. Light the paper and allow the fire to build for about 20 minutes.
4. Once the flat cooktop reaches the optimal temperature, grease it with butter.

Step 2: Prepare the Flatbread Dough

1. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, salt, sugar, and baking powder.
2. Slowly add the warm water and melted butter while mixing until a soft dough forms.
3. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth.
4. Cover the dough and let it rest for 20 minutes.

Step 3: Roll and Stretch the Dough

1. Divide the dough into four equal portions.
2. Roll each portion into a thin, oval shape.
3. Use your hands to further stretch the dough for an authentic hand-pulled texture.

Step 4: Grill the Flatbread

1. Place the stretched dough directly onto the Arteflame flat cooktop.
2. Let it cook for about 2-3 minutes until bubbles form.
3. Flip and cook for another 2 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
4. Brush lightly with additional butter for added flavor.

Step 5: Serve

1. Remove the grilled flatbread from the cooktop.
2. Serve warm with your favorite dips.

Tips

• For extra smokiness, cook the flatbread closer to the center of the grill.
• Keep an eye on the cooking process to prevent over-toasting.
• Using butter on the cooktop adds depth and crispness to the flatbread.

Variations

1. Herb-Infused Flatbread: Add finely chopped rosemary and thyme to the dough for a fragrant twist.
2. Cheesy Flatbread: Sprinkle shredded cheddar or parmesan on top during the last minute of grilling.
3. Spicy Flatbread: Mix in chili flakes and cumin into the dough for a warm heat.
4. Garlic Butter Flatbread: Brush garlic-infused melted butter over the flatbread just before serving.
5. Sweet Flatbread: Add cinnamon and honey into the dough for a lightly sweet version.
