  • Place back in the oven and bake for 10 more minutes.

Instructions for Flatbread

  • Preheat oven to 475 degrees.

  • Add water and oil.
  • Pulse until a dough ball forms (about 1 minute or so). Scrape down sides as needed.
  • Transfer dough ball to a lightly floured surface and knead dough for 1 minute or until the surface of the dough is smooth.
  • Divide dough into 2 equal balls.
