Flatbread dough

Our flatbread recipe can be cooked to perfection in our outdoor pizza oven, delivering crisp, lightly charred edges with soft, pillowy centres.

Quick to prep and fun to make, it’s perfect for sharing straight from the oven, just as flatbreads should be.

What you'll need...

  • 500ml lukewarm water
  • 1/4 tsp fast-action dried yeast
  • 785g '00' flour
  • 25g sea salt flakes
  • Fine semolina, for dusting

Method

  1. Combine the water and yeast in a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook and stir briefly with a fork. Add half the flour and mix, then add the remaining flour and sprinkle over the salt.

  2. Knead on a low speed for 6 minutes until a dough forms. Leave uncovered for 30 minutes, then knead again for 6 minutes on a low–medium speed until smooth and springy. Cover and leave to prove overnight at room temperature.

  3. The next day, knock back the dough to release the air. Dust a tray with semolina, divide into 220g portions and shape into smooth balls.

  1. Place the dough balls seam-side down on the tray, dust with semolina and cover. Leave to rest at room temperature for 2 hours.

  2. Dust your work surface with semolina or flour. Place a dough ball seam-side up and gently press the centre flat, while keeping the edges slightly raised. Lift and rotate the dough in your hands, letting gravity stretch it into a thin, translucent base with a puffed outer edge.

  3. Heat your pizza oven to around 450°C. Cook the flatbreads for about 2 minutes, until puffed, lightly charred and cooked through.
