Grilled Chickpea Flatbread
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 18 ounces unbleached all-purpose flour, more as needed
- 2 14 teaspoons kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, more for the bowl and for brushing
- 2 teaspoons cumin seeds, toasted
- 2 teaspoons coriander seeds, toasted
- 1 small yellow onion
- 1 14 cups canned chick-peas, rinsed, drained, and coarsely mashed
- melted butter, for brushing
- Dissolve the honey in 1-1/2 cups luke-warm water.
- Using a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook, mix the flour, 1-1/2 teaspoons of the salt, and the yeast on low speed for 2 minutes.
- With the mixer running, gradually add the honey water and the olive oil.
- Increase the speed to medium and mix until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl and is smooth yet slightly tacky to the touch, about 5 minutes.
- If the dough seems too wet, add more flour, 1 teaspoons at a time.
- Return to low speed and mix for 2 minutes more.
- Let the dough rest in the bowl for 5 minutes and then turn the mixer to medium-high speed and mix for 3 minutes more, as the dough vigorously slaps against the side of the bowl.
- Lightly oil a large bowl.
- Transfer the dough to the bowl and turn the dough to coat it with the oil.
- Cover with a damp cloth or plastic wrap and let the dough rise in a warm place until doubled in size, 1 to 1-1/2 hours.
- Using a mortar and pestle, coarsely grind the cumin, coriander, and the remaining 3/4 teaspoons salt.
- Set aside.
- Cut the onion in half crosswise.
- Heat a cast-iron griddle or a small cast-iron skillet over high heat until very hot.
- Put the onion halves cut side down on the hot surface and cook until just charred, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Cool slightly and then remove the skin and chop finely.
- Put the onion in a medium bowl and stir in the chickpeas and about two-thirds of the spice mixture.
- With lightly floured hands gently deflate the dough.
- Add the chickpea mixture to the top of the dough, and using a plastic bowl scraper, reach down to the bottom of the bowl and gently fold the dough onto itself 4 times, rotating the bowl with each fold, to incorporate the mixture.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, stretch slightly to form into a log, and cut into 6 equal pieces.
- Shape each piece into a ball by gently stretching and tucking the dough underneath itself to form a belly button on the bottom.
- Gently roll in the palm of your hand to reshape into a uniform ball, then set each ball, belly button side down, on a well-floured baking sheet.
- Lightly brush each top with olive oil.
- Cover loosely with a towel or plastic wrap and let rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- Meanwhile, prepare a medium gas grill fire or an indirect charcoal fire with a hot zone and a cool zone (an oven thermometer placed over the hot zone should register about 450F).
- Brush the grill grates with a stiff brush, then wipe with a lightly oiled paper towel.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out or press and stretch each piece of dough with your fingertips until about 1/4 inch thick and about 8 inches in diameter.
- Put the flatbreads on 2 lightly floured baking sheets and lightly brush the tops of the dough with the butter, being careful not to get butter on the baking sheet.
- Put the flatbreads buttered side down on the grill (over the hot zone of the charcoal fire), cover, and cook until puffed and good grill marks form, 2 to 4 minutes.
- Flip the flatbreads and turn the burners of a gas grill down to low (or move the breads to the cool zone of the charcoal grill), and brush the grill-marked side with more butter.
- Cover and finish cooking until the bottoms have good grill marks and the breads are cooked through, about 3 minutes more.
- Transfer the breads to a cutting board, brush with more of the butter, and dust with the remaining spice mixture.
- Cut into wedges and serve warm.
