These dough flaps with tomatoes and zucchini are a delicious and healthy snack, side dish or starter.

Ingredients

  • 42 g yeast (1 cube)
  • 400 g spelt whole‑grain flour (+ extra for the work surface)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 4 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 Zucchini
  • 5 small cherry tomatoes
  • 3 sprigs thyme
  • Sea salt

Instructions

  1. 1.

    Dissolve the yeast in 250 ml lukewarm water. In a bowl mix the spelt flour with 1 tsp salt and 2 tbsp olive oil. Add the dissolved yeast to the flour mixture and knead with the hand mixer’s dough hooks into a smooth dough that no longer sticks to the bowl. If necessary, add more water or flour. Cover and let rise in a warm place for about 45 minutes until doubled.

  2. 2.

    Wash, peel and slice the zucchini into 3–4 mm thick rounds. Wash the tomatoes and cut them in half lengthwise. Rinse the thyme, shake dry and pluck off the leaves.

  3. 3.

    On a floured work surface knead the dough again and roll it out into a large flat sheet about 1.5 cm thick. Brush a baking tray with 1 tbsp oil and place the dough sheets on it.

  4. 4.

    Top the dough with zucchini slices, thyme and tomatoes, pressing them lightly into the dough. Drizzle with the remaining olive oil, season with sea salt and bake in a preheated oven at 220 °C (200 °C fan; gas: level 3–4) for about 30 minutes until golden brown.
