Moroccan Olive Flatbread - not TNT

[Guest guest]

Going thru my recipes for flatbread, organizing them

in a cookbook and thought I'd share. I haven't made

this one but did watch a similar recipe being made in

Morocco. My Auntie spread this out on a pizza pan!

Moroccan Olive Flatbread

Spice Mixture:

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon curry powder

1/4 teaspoon paprika

1/4 teaspoon ground cumin

1 cup plus 1 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons sugar

1 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

10 oil-cured olives, pitted and chopped

1 tablespoon olive oil

1/2 cup water

Extra-virgin olive oil

 

 

 

 

 

Special equipment: pastry brush and baking sheet

 

Make the spice mixture by combining all of the

seasonings in a small bowl. Set aside.

 

Put the flour, sugar, salt, pepper and olives in a

large mixing bowl and stir to combine. Add the olive

oil and stir vigorously with a fork. Add the water and

continue to stir until a ball forms. Sprinkle a work

surface liberally with flour and turn the dough out

onto the surface. Knead until the dough is velvety

smooth, about 2 minutes. Wrap the dough in plastic

wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

 

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

 

Remove the dough from the refrigerator and flatten

into a disk on a floured surface. Using a rolling pin,

roll the dough out as thinly as possible into an oval.

Roll the dough onto the pin and transfer it to a

baking sheet that has been brushed with olive oil.

 

Brush the dough with extra-virgin olive oil and

sprinkle with the spice mixture. Place the pan in the

oven until the bread is crisp and deep golden brown,

about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven, let cool, and

break into pieces. The flatbread can be made up to 2

days in advance, wrapped in plastic wrap, and kept in

a dry place.
