I was asked by a fried to share a recipe I use to make flatbread, I though you might like to know too.
OK – now this is my spin

• I don’t have a bread machine so I use my food processor, I use a plastic blade that came with my unit
  
• I warm the water and add the yeast to it 5-10 min before I mix the dough
  
• mix all the dry ingredients in the processor
  
• slowly pour in the oil and water while its mixing
  
• process it for about 45 sec or until the dough makes a ball and cleans all the little pieces off the side of the bowl
  
• rub some oil in a bowl 3-4x the size of your dough ball
  
• take out your dough, form a ball a rub a little oil over it, put it in the bowl and cover with plastic wrap
  
• let it rise until doubled, about 90 min or so
  
• Once the dough has risen, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough into eight equal pieces and form into balls. Cover the rounds with a damp cloth and let rest another 30 min.
  
• roll your dough balls really thin, use flour as needed to keep them from sticking
  
• turn your BBQ grill up as high as it will go
  
• when you put your bread on the grill, it will start to bubble and puff, it takes about 30 sec on my grill, use tongs and turn them over another 30 sec
  
• when you stack up your breads brush some melted butter on them, it not only tastes good, it keeps them from getting hard when the cool

Thin pieces of dough and a really hot grill are the keys. Its really easy, it just takes some time. Let me know if you try it.
