Can I use regular yeast instead of instant rise yeast?

You can! You should need to add 10 to 15 minutes of rise time, but regular yeast will work just fine.

Does this bread keep?

As with all homemade breads it is at its delicious best the day that it is made, but it will keep just fine for a few days. If you want to warm it up, pop it in the microwave for 15 to 20 seconds, or pop it in a warm oven for 5 to 10 minutes.

I don't have a grill? Can I make this another way?

You can! A super hot cast iron pan will work just fine. Heat it over high heat for five minutes and then toast your flatbreads one by one.

Instructions

Put the salt, sugar, yeast and 1 cup warm water in a bowl and give it a stir. Let it sit until it gets a little bubbly and then stir in the flour, adding a little more water if the dough seems dry. Cover it up with a dishtowel and let it sit and rise for an hour.
When the dough has puffed up a little, put it on a well floured surface (I love using a silicone mat for this) and knead it for about 5 minutes until it is nice and soft.
Cut the dough into 8 pieces and roll them into 6 inch round pieces. Don’t worry if they aren’t perfectly round by the way – the different shapes are part of the fun!
Brush one side of the dough rounds with olive oil and put them on a medium high heat grill, oil side down, and brush the other side with more oil. Grill until they start to puff up and the underside is brown, then turn them over until the other side is browned.
Take them off the grill and eat them while they are still warm!

Notes

- Yeast: Don’t be scared of it! ? You can use either instant yeast or regular yeast. ..I tend to use instant because that is what I have around. Keep the extra in the freezer so you can use it for sheet pan focaccia or almost no knead bread.

- Water: You want it to be warm but not hot (if it is too hot the yeast won’t bubble up). I test it on my wrist just like I would do for a bath. ?

- Flour: Regular all purpose flour is just fine.
