To die for

Tonight we had one of our favorites. Grilled flatbread doesn't last at our house, the kids just can't get enough. Is it so easy and so incredibly delicious that you'll stuff yourselves silly. Here is the recipe.

  • 4 to 4 1/2 C. flour
  • 2 Tbs rapid rising yeast
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp sugar
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • hot water
  • 2 Tbs. fresh rosemary

Mix flour, sugar, salt, yeast, and rosemary together. In a separate cup add 1 3/4 C. hot water (from the tap) and then add olive oil. Mix by hand or in a mixer until the dough is smooth. Cover for 10 minutes. Heat up your grill! Split dough in to 6, roll into 8" circles. Brush the top of each circle with olive oil and then pick it up and stretch it roughly 2" bigger all the way around. Slap it oil side down on the grill. Brush olive oil on the top side and grind on coarse salt. Check the bottom and flip when grill marks are med brown (3-4 minutes).

Voila. These are fabulous with Italian meals, great as pizza for a grill. (add salt to the first side, flip it, add sauce and toppings and close the grill for the last 3 minutes). You will be ga-ga for this recipe once you try it, or they don't call me the Homely Animal ;)

This looks so good! I will have to get Craig to fire up he grill so I can make these. And I have bags and bags of pizza cheese, so this would be perfect for a fun grilled pizza night too. Thanks!

Delicious! We tried them last night and loved them...I just need to perfect them a bit so they look as good as yours.

I almost wet my pants they were so good. A weird reaction to have for food...but they're that good.
