Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
• 3/4 cup warm water (about 110°F)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 large eggs
• 1/4 cup fresh herbs (such as parsley, chives, or dill), chopped
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Optional: Crushed red pepper flakes for garnish

How to Make Egg and Herb Flatbread

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
2. Add the all-purpose flour, salt, and olive oil to the yeast mixture. Stir until a dough forms.
3. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until it is smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
4. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
5. Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a flat circle about 1/4 inch thick.
6. Transfer the flatbreads to the prepared baking sheet. Using your fingers, create a small well in the center of each flatbread.
7. Crack an egg into each well and season with salt, pepper, and half of the chopped herbs.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny.
9. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with the remaining fresh herbs and optional red pepper flakes before serving.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure your water is at the right temperature for activating yeast; too hot can kill it.
• Don’t rush the dough rising process; it’s crucial for texture.
• Experiment with different herbs based on your taste preferences or what’s in season.

Easy Variations

• Replace the eggs with sautéed mushrooms or spinach for a vegetarian option.
• Add crumbled feta cheese or goat cheese for an extra burst of flavor.
• Top with sliced avocados or cherry tomatoes for a fresh twist.

What to Serve With It

• A simple mixed greens salad with a light vinaigrette.
• Fresh fruit or a fruit salad for a refreshing side.
• Yogurt with honey and nuts for a sweet contrast.
