Pete's Scallion Flatbread

Last nite I started a scallion loaf for break. This morning, I decided to fry the bread instead to see how it would turn out. I'm happy report, it's awesome!!!! Oh My God, it knocked my socks off and everyone loved it. My wife was going to meditate before breakfast, but after she had a taste she said "I think I'll meditate after break, that is soo good."

This recipe is inspired by scallion pancake and da bing. It doesn't have the layers like either of them, but instead it has this wonderful chewy texture with a crisp cust and moist center. If you want to learn how to make da bing, here is a  video from youtube.


Ingredients:

3 cups all purpose flour - I use king arthurs
1 heaping tsp of salt
1/2 tsp yeast
1 tsp sugar

Mix everything in a bowl and let it rise 12-16 hours. When you're ready to fry the bread, divide it into 6 pieces and form a ball. Preheat a 12" frying pan with 1 tbsp of oil. When the oil smokes a little turn the heat down to medium or medium-high. Flatten each ball until it is about 6-8 inches in diameter. Fry the bread for 2-3 minutes until it's golden brown. Flip it over and brown the other side. It should take about 7-9minutes to cook each one.

If you want to make sure they stay warm, preheat your oven to 350. When each one is done, put them on a baking sheet to stay warm until they are all done. When all six are done, serve immediately.
