Greek Night!

Last week we had a whole Greek meal for dinner, including a Greek dessert! It was so delicious......................Esther, me, and our dad LOVE Greek food! Here are the recipes we used:

1 Cucumber skinned and sliced

2-3 Tomatoes sliced

1/2c. Crumbled feta cheese

8 Lettuce leaves torn

1/2c.-2/3c. Hummus

Tzatziki ( recipe below)

Assemble on Flat bread all of the above ingredients

Grilled Flat Bread

1 1/2 cups warm water (105 to 110 degrees F)

1/2 teaspoon active dry yeast

4 cups whole wheat flour

1 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons olive or canola oil, plus more for bowl

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 1/2 hour. Divide dough into 8 balls, and then roll out as desired. Cook on a hot grill for about 3-5min. on each side.
