Cooking steps:
- Start by preparing the dough. In a bowl, dissolve the instant dry yeast in lukewarm water. Add sugar, all-purpose flour, and salt. Mix until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough vigorously for about 5 minutes until it becomes elastic. If too sticky, add extra flour gradually. Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a well-oiled bowl.
- Cover the bowl with a damp kitchen cloth and let the dough proof for 2 hours at room temperature or overnight in the fridge.
- Transfer the proved dough onto a clean worktop. Fold it on itself 4 times, then cut it into 4 pieces. Shape each piece into a smooth ball.
- Flatten the dough balls with your hands, using flour on both sides. Allow them to proof for about 15-30 minutes.
- For the Classic Flatbread, use a non-stick or cast-iron pan. Warm it up, then cook each flatbread for 1.5 to 2 minutes on each side. Brush them with oil, garlic, parsley, and salt mix.
- For the Italian Flatbread, preheat the oven and prepare a baking tray with parchment paper. Place the toppings (vegan melted cheese, tomato slices, salt, pepper, oregano) on the flatbread and bake for approximately 7 minutes at 480F or 250C.
- For the Greek Flatbread, pierce the dough with a fork and bake it for 5-7 minutes at 480F or 250C. Brush it with oil, garlic, parsley mix and add sun-dried tomato pesto, mixed salad leaves, olives, drizzle with plain unsweetened soy yogurt, and sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.
- For the California Flatbread, preheat a pizza stone and bake the flatbread on it for about 5 minutes. Add oil, parsley, garlic marinade, mashed avocado, mixed salad leaves, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, and drizzle with chipotle sauce.
- Serve each flatbread cut into slices and enjoy the fantastic combinations of flavors and textures! Try them all and let your taste buds decide your favorite.
- For additional condiments, prepare the chipotle dressing by blending together sunflower oil, olive oil, soy milk unsweetened, lemon juice, maple syrup, mustard, tabasco hot sauce or chipotle in adobo sauce, garlic, and salt.
- Create the red pesto by blending sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, walnut, nutritional yeast, salt, pepper, olive oil, and water. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and enjoy!
- Lastly, prepare the vegan melted cheese by mixing soy milk unsweetened, lemon juice, olive oil, nutritional yeast, potato starch, corn starch, and salt. Heat the mixture until it thickens and turns stringy, then add unsweetened soy yogurt. Mix well and use it on flatbreads, wraps, sandwiches, and more. Bon appétit!
