Sunday Dinner

Today we are taking a calm, beautiful day to just do whatever. Most people think of cooking as a chore, but Sundays in my house were made for cooking and movies (or football during the season)

I am trying out a new idea in the kitchen. I am making flat bread wraps, with homemade flat bread. I have a turkey breast in the crock pot to shred and use in my wraps with lettuce, cheese, tomatoes, bacon and maybe some spicy mayo.

The flat bread is really easy, if a little time consuming, 1 1/2 c warm water, 1 package yeast, 4 cups self rising flour, 2 T olive oil. Mix water, yeast and let sit for 5 minutes. Add 2 cups flour, mix well, cover and let sit for at least an hour, longer is better. Put that in a mixing bowl, using the dough hook, and add oil, mix well, then add remaining flour slowly. Knead, then let rise in oiled bowl about 2 1/2 hours. Divide into serving sizes, roll into balls and roll out flat. Heat a skillet big enough for each serving(I use cast iron, but anything is fine) over medium heat. Brush with melted butter and lay your flat bread dough round in the skillet. cook till beginning to brown, flip and cook till done. Keep warm in a low oven till all are done.

Fill with whatever and serve. These would also be good with soup or stew. Yummy. Have a great Sunday, everyone.
