Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams All-purpose flour
- 200 milliliters Warm water
- 1 teaspoon Active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Additional olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Optional toppings (e.g., sesame seeds, dried herbs)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the warm water, active dry yeast, and granulated sugar. Stir gently and let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy, indicating the yeast is activated.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour and salt.
Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the activated yeast mixture and 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
Using a wooden spoon or your hands, mix the ingredients until a shaggy dough forms.
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Add a touch of flour if the dough is too sticky, but avoid adding too much.
Lightly oil a clean bowl with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and place the dough inside. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let the dough rise in a warm spot for 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
After the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air. Divide it into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a flat disk, about 1 cm (½ inch) thick.
Heat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat and brush it with a light layer of the remaining olive oil.
Once the pan is hot, place one of the dough disks into the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on one side, or until the bottom is golden brown and crispy.
Flip the dough and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side. If using toppings, sprinkle them on the uncooked side before flipping.
Repeat the process with the remaining dough disks, adding more oil to the pan as needed.
Serve the Tiganopsoma warm, either plain or with a drizzle of olive oil, alongside dips or spreads such as tzatziki, hummus, or feta cheese.
