19 Reviews of Greek Flatbread

From: Stephanie in Pittsburgh

On Apr 1, 2004

So good!!!! I was making it for a lemon-cumin bread salad, so I added about a 1/2 teaspoon each of cumin, yellow curry powder, and coriander. The ones that I rolled out thin puffed up like pita bread and the ones that were a little thicker than recommended were more like the flatbread they serve gyros on. All of it was soooo good! I may never buy pita bread again.

    I was somewhat confused by the European measurements for this recipe, and so used a scant 2 cups bread flour, 2/3 cup water, 1 1/2 teaspoons yeast, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano to make 4 eight-inch flatbreads. I cut the pita-like bread into wedges with a pizza-wheel and lightly toasted them for serving with Butter Bean Hummus #105181. This bread is also delicious plain ~ My husband says it would make great pizza crust! Thanks for sharing the recipe!

    I have never been good at baking, especially yeast bread. This recipe couln't be easier! Not only that, but the flatbread was incredibly soft and delicious! I actually used white whole wheat flour. I figured out the conversions for the ingredients and thought I'd list them for anyone else in need: 4 1/2 c. flour 1 1/4 c. water 2 t. yeast Thankyou for posting this recipe. I'm planning on making these again this coming week with some lemon rice Greek soup and gyros with yogurt sauce and hummus. YUM! I've been inspired!

    Sackville Girl, you have a winner here! I went a little on the undercooked side and am glad I did. I just pop them out of the freezer and into my toaster oven and they reheat to perfection! (microwave works too in a pinch) Didn't have a way to spray water, so used olive oil nonstick spray instead. Can't wait to try the seasonings suggested by Stephanie. Store bought never again. Thank you Sackville Girl!

    I served these instead of the regular bought pita breads which I would normaly use, filled with salad, lamb patties and yoghurt cucumber dressing and it made the meal soooooooo much better. I only had plain flour, so I used it and I don't know if that was the reason, but I found I needed quite a bit extra because the dough was really sticky. I halved the recipe and it worked well. I sprinkeled half with some sesame seeds, which worked well.

    These were fantastic. I roll them between pieces of baking paper and take the top piece of paper off and just put the other piece in the oven. Worked a treat and I didn't need to spray my flatbreads. They puffed up beautifully and tasted wonderful. They also heated up nicely on the BBQ later. Six star recipe!

    Absolutely wonderful! I had a dinner group meeting last night w/ a Greek theme. I made these for the group and everyone loved them. I did not even have enough olive oil, had to use part vegetable oil, and they were still great. Thanks for the keeper!

    I made a wheat free version of this recipe using white spelt, rice, and sorghum flours, and they turned out light and wonderful. Great recipe!!

    I made this for my friend and I. We were craving greek burgers. I wanted to serve them with flatbread, but I really didn't want to get storebought bread. The homemade flatbread was delicious. I will never buy storebought again.
