Grilled Flatbread With Coconut Dipping Sauce Recipes

GRILLED FLATBREAD

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 FLATBREAD WITH GARLIC RUBBED FILLET OF BEEF, WHITE BEAN PUREE AND SUN-DRIED TOMATO CHUTNEY

Steps:

• Combine beef, olive oil, and garlic in a large resealable plastic bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.
• Preheat the grill to high. Grill on both sides for 3 to 4 minutes, for medium-rare. Let rest for 5 to 10 minutes and then slice thinly.
• Puree the beans, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, and thyme in a food processor until smooth. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Mix together the tomatoes, olive oil, vinegar, honey, and parsley, and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Heat grill to high. Flatten flatbread dough and gently press into a large rectangle and throw on grill. Grill on 1 side until golden, about 2 minutes. Remove from grill, turn over, and spread each flatbread with a thin layer of White Bean Puree, sliced beef, roasted shallots, and Tomato Chutney. Return to grill, close cover and cook for 2 minutes. Serve immediately.
• Mix water and yeast in a large bowl and let stand 5 minutes to proof. Gradually pour in 2 cups of the flour and stir to incorporate. Mix for about 1 minute to form a sponge. Let stand, covered, for at least 1 hour.
• Put sponge in the bowl of a stand mixer. Using the dough hook, add the salt and oil, then add the flour, 1/2 cup at a time, to form a dough. Remove from bowl and knead. Place in a clean oiled bowl and let rise, slowly, about 2 1/2 hours. Divide dough into 4 balls, if desired, let rise again for 1/2 hour, and then roll out as desired.

GRILLED FLATBREAD

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.
