Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1.25 cups Warm water
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (optional for brushing)
Directions
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, instant yeast, and sugar.
Step 2
Add the olive oil and warm water to the dry ingredients.
Step 3
Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
Step 4
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Step 5
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm area for 60 minutes or until doubled in size.
Step 6
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Step 7
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 8 equal pieces.
Step 8
Roll each piece into a ball and then flatten into a disc, approximately 1/4 inch thick.
Step 9
Place the discs on the preheated grill. Grill for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they puff up and have lightly charred grill marks.
Step 10
Remove from the grill and, if desired, brush with melted unsalted butter for added flavor.
Step 11
Serve warm or allow to cool completely before storing.
