Better-Than-Pita Grill Bread

Name: Better-Than-Pita Grill Bread
Cook time: 45 min
Total time: 55 min
Yield: Makes 10 servings
Ingredients: 2 cups all-purpose flour plus additional for dusting; 1 teaspoon sugar; 1 teaspoon salt; 1/2 teaspoon fast-acting yeast from 1 (1/4-oz) package such as Fleischmann's Rapid Rise yeast; 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon warm water (105-115°F); 1/4 cup canola or vegetable oil; 1 tablespoon beaten egg; a lightly oiled ridged grill pan, cast-iron skillet, or griddle

Cooking these flatbreads in a grill pan gives them a smoky flavor. They can be served with hummus or the Lebanese Lamb and Bean Stew. Don't expect a pocket — they are like rustic tortillas.

Cooks' notes:

If you have a 2-burner grill pan, you can grill 2 bread rounds at a time.
Bread can be made 1 day ahead and cooled completely, then kept in an airtight container at room temperature. Reheat bread, loosely wrapped in foil, in a 350°F oven until heated through.
