1/2 teaspoon active dry yeast
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for bowl and brushing

Turn dough out onto a well-floured surface, and knead until smooth and elastic, 1 to 2 minutes. Place in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let stand in a warm place for 30 minutes.
  • Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide into 4 equal pieces, and roll out each into a 1/8-inch-thick round. Lightly brush both sides of each round with olive oil, and place the rounds directly on the hot grill. Grill the flatbread until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Remove from grill, and season with salt.

GRILLED FLATBREAD



Grilled Flatbread image

Provided by Erin Jeanne McDowell

Categories     side-dish

Time 25m

Yield 6 flatbreads

Number Of Ingredients 12

Vegetable oil, for the grill grates
1 cup whole milk
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, cut into a few pieces
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
Flaky sea salt
Fresh chopped herbs, such as rosemary, thyme or sage, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Heat a grill or grill pan until it's smoking hot. Clean and lightly oil the grill grates or grill pan.
  • In a small saucepan, heat the milk, honey and butter over medium-low heat until just barely warm to the touch and the butter is melted.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together both flours, the baking powder, kosher salt and paprika (if using) until well combined. Make a well in the center and pour in the 3 tablespoons olive oil, then the warm milk mixture. Stir well until the dough comes together, is well combined and relatively smooth. Divide the dough into 6 equal pieces and gently shape each into a ball.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out each ball into an oval about 1 inch thick. Brush each side with olive oil and place on a baking sheet.
  • Working one at a time, stretch the dough into an oval about 1/2 inch thick (brushing with more olive oil, if needed), then drape it over the hot grill grates. Grill until well charred, 2 to 3 minutes on the first side, then 2 to 4 minutes on the other side.
  • Remove the bread from the grill and lightly brush with olive oil, then season with flaky salt and sprinkle with fresh herbs. Serve immediately, while still warm.

GRILLED FLATBREAD

Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
4 3/4 cups all-purpose flour plus more for dusting
2 1/4 cups whole wheat flour
2 tablespoons kosher salt
1/2 cup sour cream
Vegetable oil (for brushing)
Topping suggestions:
Ancho Chile Oil , Green Charmoula , and grated Cotija or Parmesan cheese
Puréed black beans, sliced avocado, radishes, and pico de gallo
Sliced plum tomatoes, fresh basil, olive oil, crema (or sour cream)

Steps:

  • Dissolve yeast in 3 cups warm water in a large bowl. Add all-purpose and whole wheat flours; mix with your fingertips until a shaggy dough forms. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let rest at room temperature for 20 minutes.
  • Sprinkle salt over dough, then add sour cream; knead until well incorporated and dough pulls away from sides of bowl and holds together in a loose, wet ball, about 5 minutes (dough will be very soft and wet; lightly moisten your hands to prevent sticking if needed). Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let dough rise at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  • Knead dough an additional 4-5 times to deflate. Cover and chill for up to 2 days. (Dough will develop in flavor and continue to rise slowly in refrigerator.) Alternatively, let dough stand at room temperature until doubled in volume, 3-4 hours (the warmer and more humid your kitchen is, the faster it will rise). Chill for 1 hour before grilling to make it easier to handle.
  • Build a medium-hot fire in a charcoal grill, or heat a gas grill to high. Divide dough into 8 equal portions. Generously flour a work surface. Working with 1 or 2 portions at a time (depending on how many flatbreads will fit on your grill), roll out dough or press with your hands into a 1/4"-thick shape. (It doesn't have to be perfectly round.)
  • Brush grill rack with oil. Grill flatbreads until lightly charred on one side and no longer sticking to grill, 2-3 minutes. Using tongs, turn flatbreads and grill until cooked through, 1-2 minutes longer. Add desired toppings and serve warm.

GRILLED CORN WITH CHEESE, LIME AND CHILE (ELOTES)



Grilled Corn With Cheese, Lime and Chile (Elotes) image

Whole ears of corn are a classic street food in Mexico, where they are either grilled or boiled, then often dressed with some combination of lime, chile, mayonnaise and grated cheese. This grilled version calls for all of the above, which get mixed together into a creamy, bracing topping, and slathered all over the hot, sweet ears. It's not strictly traditional, but it does make it easier to assemble the corn and its dressing before serving. Or place the various topping in small bowls and let guests have the fun of garnishing their own. And if you don't have a grill, the broiler works too though watch the ears carefully so they don't burn.

GRILLED LEBANESE FLATBREAD



Grilled Lebanese Flatbread image

This recipe is a flatbread that's somewhere between a Middle Eastern-style pita and an Indian naan. Like most leavened breads, this one consists primarily of flour, water and yeast. And, like any leavened bread, it requires some rising, though no more than an hour.

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     project, side dish

Time 1h30m

Yield 8 breads

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon instant yeast
3 cups all-purpose flour
Extra virgin olive oil as needed
2 tablespoons za'atar, optional

Steps:

  • Whisk together the salt, sugar, yeast and 1 cup warm water in a large bowl. Let the mixture sit until it begins to froth, about 5 minutes, then add the flour and mix until well combined. (If the dough is very dry, add more warm water a tablespoon at a time to moisten it.) Cover and let rise somewhere warm for about an hour.
  • Meanwhile, prepare a grill; the heat should be medium-high and the rack about 4 inches from the fire. When the dough has puffed up, transfer it to a well-floured surface and knead until soft and silky, 5 to 8 minutes.
  • Cut the dough into 8 equally sized pieces and roll each one out until it's about 6 inches in diameter; don't worry about making these perfectly round, but try to keep them relatively even in thickness. Brush one side of the breads with olive oil and put as many on the grill, oiled side down, as will comfortably fit at one time. While the first side cooks, brush the side facing you with more oil; when the breads begin to brown and puff up, flip them. When the second side is nicely browned, remove from the grill and sprinkle with the za'atar, if you'd like. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Be generous with the toppings: Don't be afraid to pile on the corn, cheese, and other toppings.
  • Serve immediately: Grilled elote flatbread is best enjoyed fresh out of the oven.

Conclusion:

Grilled elote flatbread is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. It's perfect for parties or potlucks, and it's also a great way to use up leftover corn on the cob.
