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

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

Step 2: Prepare the Flatbread Dough

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

Step 3: Roll and Stretch the Dough

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

Step 4: Grill the Flatbread

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

Step 5: Serve

Remove the grilled flatbread from the cooktop.
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

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

Conclusion

This Arizona-inspired Sandstone Grilled Flatbread is the perfect dish to cook on your Arteflame grill. The even heat of the solid steel cooktop ensures a perfectly crisp exterior while maintaining a soft, chewy center.
