History of Flatbread
People all over the world have been using flatbread as a wrap for food for
thousands of years. Even though many of these breads are from different
ethnic cuisines, they are still remarkably similar. Most use basic ingredients
such as wheat flour, corn flour, rice flour, or buckwheat flour and water.
Some also use salt, fat, yeast, or baking powder as leaveners. Although the
flatbread concept is not new, it continues to grow in popularity—not only
presenting a delicious solution to today’s cooking, but providing a healthy,
quick one-dish meal for today’s busy families. Discover what you can create
using primitive bread recipes with a modern twist with your Hamilton
Beach Flatbread MealMaker Express.
The world of cooking is becoming a smaller place. Everywhere you look—
from fast-food restaurants to monthly cooking magazines—^you’ll find people
mixing basic foods from different cultures—^from Chinese and Indian to
Italian and Tex-Mex cuisines.
For example, you can make the basic Mexican Flour Tortilla, fill it with Thai
Shrimp, and you have blended two cultures into one delicious meal. Add
sun-dried tomatoes or pesto to that same Basic Flour Tortilla and wrap in
Chicken Primavera for an Italian twist. This concept, called fusion cooking,
is a growing trend in food preparation today. The recipes that have been
developed for the Flatbread MealMaker Express will show you how to take
the basic ingredients from different cuisines and wrap them up into a meal
that your family will have fun making—and eating.
Why stop with wraps? Many of the flatbreads in this book may be used
as other parts of a meal like edible “plates” or as a “scoop” to pick up a
filling. Serve them as a unique bread alternative to accompany a meal. Be
creative with your Flatbread MealMaker Express, it’s easy to create delicious
dishes using a fritatta, an omelet, a pizza crust, and even a dessert like a
crepe—all made in your Flatbread MealMaker Express.
be a major factor in the thickness
of the flatbread. Softer, wetter
dough will be easier to press
resulting in thinner, larger breads.
The type and amount of flour and
fat, and the use of leavening
agents, will also influence the
consistency of the dough.
® The dough for all recipes should
be soft and pliable. Ideally, the
dough should be wet, but not
sticky. You will know if the dough
is too wet if it sticks to your hands
or the Press during pressing.
Measuring Tips
Accurate measurement of the
following ingredients is the best
way to ensure that the dough will
be the right consistency.
Liquid
Use a clear plastic or glass
measuring cup when measuring
liquids. Place the cup on a level
surface; make sure your eye is
level with the amount you are
measuring.
Flour
Before measuring, stir the flour to
“lighten” it. Use a metal or plastic
cup made for measuring dry ingre
dients. Spoon the flour into the cup
and level off with a knife or spatula.
Do not dip the cup into the flour or
bang down on the counter to level
the cup. This will pack the flour and
result in over-measurement.
Sriatbrnd Basics
Texture Tips
Oil, Shortening, and Butter
« You may use vegetable oil, short
ening, or butter. Many of the recipes
call for 2-3 tablespoons of oil.
Tortillas made with 3 tablespoons
of oil will press out slightly larger
and have a flakier texture.
« If using 2 tablespoons of oil, add
1 additional tablespoon of water
to replace the liquid.
* If using shortening, use a rubber
spatula to press it firmly into a
dry measuring cup. Level off
using a knife or metal spatula.
Baking Powder
Baking powder has been added to
all of the tortilla recipes in this book.
It can be eliminated, but its addition
helps to give the tortillas a lighter
texture and thickness.
Size
« The amount of dough and the
pressure you exert when pressing
the dough will determine the size
and thickness of the flatbread.
The tip of the Latch on the H andle
prod uces an average flatbread.
The further the han dle rotates
clockwise the thinner the flatb read.
For Example: The recipe for the
flour tortilla instructs you to divide
the dough into 6 pieces. If you
press each piece 2 to 4 times and
turn the Latch clockwise to the
end, you will get an 8-inch tortilla.
In this case you are exerting the
most pressure and flattening as
much as possible.
J
840052500 U&C v05 12/22/98 10 :14 AM Page 9 (1,1)
However, if you press fewer times
and lock at the tip of the Latch, you
will be exerting less pressure and
you will get a smaller, thicker 6-inch
tortilla.
Temperatures
Press
Once the Press is preheated, it
will remain at a thermostaticallycontrolled constant temperature.
This is ideal for making all of the
flatbread recipes in this book.
Griddle
Three thermostat settings allow
foods to be cooked at the perfect
temperature.
KEEP WARM - With the Cover
on, this setting keeps prepared
fillings, flatbread, or wraps warm
for up to 40 minutes.
MEDIUM (Bake) - This setting is
used for baking thick breads.
Using the Cover during baking
turns the Griddle into an oven.
HIGH (Cook) - Sauté, stir-fry, and
pan-fry foods for breakfast, lunch,
and dinner as you would with any
traditional electric griddle. Use
this setting to cook most of the
flatbreads and fillings for the
recipes in this book.

which have no yeast, can be made
in just a few minutes. However, pita
bread, which is leavened with
yeast, will need time for the yeast
to activate.

In the filling recipes, the bread
choices are located at the end of
the ingredient list. This allows you
to quickly locate the suggested

The following steps are standard instructions for mixing dough
by hand. These instructions can be used when preparing any of
the Bread Recipes in this book.
L
Dry Ingredients
Combine all dry ingredients that
are being used in the bread recipe
(flour, salt, baking powder, etc.).
Liquid Ingredients
Combine water with any oil that is
listed in the recipe. Add the liquid to
the dry ingredients slowly. Reserve
a small amount until you are sure
that the dough forms a ball and is
not too wet. For example, if the
recipe calls for V2 cup of liquid, add
all but 1 or 2 tablespoons. If the
dough is too dry, add the remaining
liquid a little at a time. The dough
should be moist, soft, and smooth
but not sticky.
Kneading
Turn the dough out on a lightlyfloured board and knead for at least
1 minute. To knead, fold the dough
over toward you and press into it
with the heel of your hand—not
your fingertips. Turn it a half-turn,
fold, and press again. Repeat this
process.
If the dough is too wet or sticky,
sprinkle it with a small amount of
flour (about 1 tablespoon) and
continue to knead until the dough
is smooth and elastic, usually about
3 minutes.
Standing Time
Allow the dough to stand for at
least 20 minutes. This will give the
dough time to “relax” and make it
easier to stretch and flatten. If time
does not allow for standing, you
can eliminate this step. However,
it will be necessary to stretch the
dough more by hand or press
several more times to obtain the
best results.
NOTE: Other options for making
dough include using an automatic
breadmaker, food processor, or a
hand or stand mixer. You may use
any method you prefer. All will
produce good results.

If time is short or you don’t feel like making a wrap from scratch, you can use
a convenience dough product, such as canned biscuits, cornbread sticks,
pizza crust, crescent rolls, and breadsticks. These are readily available in
the refrigerator case of your supermarket. The use of convenience dough
will allow most of the recipes to be done in about 20 minutes. Choose a
recipe from the Filling section and follow the cooking instructions below.
NOTE: When using convenience dough it is not necessary to use the
Griddle to finish baking the wrap because the baking is completed during
pressing.
a
Open canister and roll dough
into equal-size balls.
Switch the Press on and
preheat the Griddle to the
temperature suggested in the
1
filling recipe.
Prepare the chosen filling as
directed in the recipe.
I
While you are preparing the
filling, press the dough balls.
To do this, carefully remove
the Bread Paddle from the
preheated Press and place a
dough ball toward the rear of
the Bread Paddle.
Replace loaded Bread Paddle
w
into the Press. Press down
twice to flatten the dough.
Then hold the Press down for
15 seconds. The dough
should cook but not brown
NOTE: To ensure the bread
will remain flexible for wrap
ping, do not overcook.
Finishing Option 1: As each wrap
is pressed, fill it with some of the
prepared filling, place it on a serving
platter, and loosely cover with foil.
Continue to press and fill the wraps
until you have used all of the dough
balls. This should take less than
5 minutes. Serve immediately.
Finishing Option 2: Press all of the
dough balls and fill them all at once.

The Fold, the Rollj, the Wrap
L
The Fold
To fill a flatbread, place filling in the
center of the prepared flatbread.
The Fold is simply folded in half.
The Roll
The Roll may be easier if the filling
is spread over the flatbread and
then rolled up like a jellyroll.
The Wrap
Begin the Wrap by folding one-third
of the flatbread bottom up over the
filling. Fold over both sides, then
fold the top portion like an envelope.
NOTE: All folds are easier when the
flatbreads are warm.

QUESTIONANSWER
L
The flatbread dough
squeezes out the front
of the Press.
The flatbread is not flat.
The pizza dough won’t
press flat.
When pressed the
flatbread sometimes
get holes in it.
The flatbread seems
doughy or uncooked.
The flatbread is too
crisp or overcooked.
The flatbread “breaks"
when 1 try to roll or fold it.
When pressing, the
dough makes a funny
sound.
The Bread Paddle
looks warped.
Sauces or liquids are
difficult to remove from
the Griddle.
Position towards the back of the Bread Paddle in
the Press. Press lightly, open and push back bread.
Finish pressing. Also check to make sure you’re not
using too much dough.
Check that the position of the dough is towards the
back of the Press. Then press firmly and quickly. Also
make sure you’re not using too large a dough ball.
The thicker breads, like pizza, should first be
flattened in the Press. Then move the dough to the
Griddle and cover with a piece of aluminum foil.
Using an oven mitt on your hand press down on the
foil covered dough to help flatten.
Try using less pressure or several quick presses.
The holes are caused when moisture in the dough
turns to steam too quickly and “breaks” the dough.
Try using smaller amounts of dough or increase the
cooking time in the Press and/or Griddle.
Use less pressure when pressing and remove from
the Press or Griddle sooner.
If too thick, make thinner more flexible bread by
less dough or more pressure when pressing. If too
crisp, try shorter cooking times. If the flatbreads
were made in advance and have cooled they must
be reheated to be folded or rolled.
This results from the air being rapidly pressed out
of the dough. This is normal.
The paddle may have a slight bend to it due to the
thinness of the metal. It was designed this way for
a quick transfer of heat. This does not affect the
performance of the unit.
Use a spoon with a thin edge to remove the most
liquid from the Griddle. A regular flatware spoon is
better than most kitchen spoons.
