Ingredients
- 450 grams All-purpose flour
- 250 milliliters Warm water
- 1 teaspoon Active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 30 grams Butter (optional, for serving)
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, combine the warm water, active dry yeast, and sugar. Stir and let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture and vegetable oil.
Step 3
Mix the ingredients together with a spoon or your hands until a rough dough forms.
Step 4
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until the dough becomes smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time.
Step 5
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and allow it to rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
Step 6
Punch down the dough to release the air. Divide it into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a ball.
Step 7
On a lightly floured surface, roll out each dough ball into a thin circle, about 5-6 inches in diameter.
Step 8
Heat a dry skillet or cast-iron pan over medium heat. Cook each flatbread one at a time for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown spots appear. Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning.
Step 9
Stack the cooked flatbreads on a plate and cover them with a clean towel to keep them warm and soft.
Step 10
Serve the Lapyoshka flatbreads warm with a pat of butter, or alongside soups, stews, or other dishes as desired.
