Could someone help with a lost bread recipe?

A year or two ago, I made a recipe for a flat bread. After it had risen once, you rolled it out, oiled it w/olive oil & sprinkled on parmesagn cheese, a chiffonade of basil, studded it with garlic cloves; really whatever you wanted. It was then grilled on the barbecue. This made a fabulous flat, chewy bread with endless possibilities for toppings. I lost the recipe & I can't even remember what cookbook it was in. Has anyone seen anything like this? I'm thinking foccacia would work pretty much the same, but before I went off in that direction I thought I would ask all the terrific cooks here if they knew of something similar.

Maybe there's enough here to help you make it just like the one you remember.

Grilled Flatbread with Ricotta Cheese, Fresh Tomatoes, Oregano and Roasted Garlic Oil

1 recipe flat bread (see the recipe below this one - from the same web site)
1 8 ounce container of ricotta cheese, drained
3 plum tomatoes, diced
2 tablespoons basil chiffonade
Shaved parmesan
1/2 cup olive oil
6 cloves roasted garlic

Place oil and garlic in a blender and blend until smooth. Strain. Set aside. Flatten dough, brush liberally with olive oil and throw on the grill. Grill on one side until golden brown. Turn over and spread with ricotta, tomatoes and basil. Remove and top with shaved parmesan and drizzle with garlic oil.


Flat Bread Recipe

1 1/2 cups warm water
1/2 teaspoon dry yeast
4 cups all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons oil

Mix water and yeast and let stand 15 minutes. Gradually pour in 2 cups of the flour mixture and incorporate. Mix for about 1 minute to form a sponge. Let stand, covered for at least an hour. Put sponge in the bowl of a Kitchen Aid. Using the dough hook, add the salt and oil, then flour 1/2 cup at a time to form a dough. Remove from bowl and knead. Place in a clean oiled bowl and let rise, slowly, about 2 1/2 hours. Divide dough into three balls, let rise again for 1/2 hour and roll out. Transfer dough to oiled baking sheet to 400 deg oven and bake 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown.

Thank you. I'll definately try it. I think even the base would work for what I remember.

From your description, I woulda said focaccia that's done on the grill. Sounds good.

Honestly, I think any dough you'd use woudl be reasonably successful. From your description, I wouldn't technically call this a flat bread so much as a bread baked flat (as pizza is a form of bread)).

flat bread as a generic description. I honestly cannot even remember what the bread was called. I wish I could & I wish I could remember what cookbook it was in.

I'm going to try Eleny's recipe though. I'll modify it as far as toppings though I want to also try it as written.
