Lepine (Soft Flatbreads): Quick to make and perfect to serve

Lepine are fluffy, soft flatbreads that are quick to make and perfect to serve with various dishes, or just enjoy on their own.

Ingredients:

• 500 g flour
• 300 ml lukewarm water
• 100 ml yogurt
• 1 teaspoon salt
• Half a cube of fresh yeast (about 15 g)

Instructions:

Prepare the Dough:

1. In a bowl, combine the flour, lukewarm water, yogurt, salt, and fresh yeast.
2. Knead the dough until smooth and elastic.
3. Cover the dough and let it rise until it doubles in size (about 1 hour).
4. After the dough has risen, gently knead it again and let it rise once more.

Shape the Lepine:

1. Dust your work surface with a little flour and divide the dough into small portions.
2. Shape each portion into a round or oval flatbread. Don’t overwork the dough to keep them soft and fluffy.
3. Arrange the shaped dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Prepare for Baking:

1. Mix 2 tablespoons of yogurt with 2 tablespoons of water and brush this mixture over the top of the dough.
2. Sprinkle with seeds of your choice (like sesame or poppy seeds).
3. Let the shaped dough rise a bit more, for about 15-20 minutes.

Bake the Lepine:

1. Preheat your oven to its highest temperature.
2. Place the baking sheet with the dough on the oven rack (directly on the rack if you want extra crispiness, or use the parchment paper).
3. Bake for about 4-5 minutes, or until they’re golden and puffed up. They should bake quickly.

Serve: Once done, remove the lepines from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. They’re perfect for dipping or as a side to your meal.
