Flat Bread

This recipe is so simple and so easy.  It is one of my family's favorite bread recipes.  I make it at least once a week to go with a meal, sometimes more.   It requires very little time and effort to make it.  In fact, it doesn't even really need to be kneaded.  I have made it in my Kitchen Aid with the dough hook, but I like it best when I just mix everything in a bowl and knead it with my hand for just a couple minutes.  I do let the yeast bubble in the hot water for about 5 minutes before adding the other ingredients and if I have time then I let it rise for 15 minutes in the bowl before putting it in the pan.  You don't have to though.  This recipe is seriously fail-proof.  It makes a good pizza crust, as well.

1 pkg. yeast (2 1/4 tsp.)
1 c. tap-hot water
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. sugar
2 Tbs. oil
2 c. flour (knead in more if too sticky…up to 3 cups)2012-10-10 cooking 61957
We don’t even let that yeast rise or the dough rise most of the time and it works, but it’s better if you let it sit for 15-30 minutes while you make the rest of the dinner.
Then roll it out on a pan (sprayed with Pam).

We always spread butter over the hot bread and sprinkle on some garlic salt.  We just like it that way.
You can also use this for pizza dough.
