Auntie Stacy’s Versatile Dough

This recipe is Tribal member Stacy Laravie's personal twist on a healthy dough that can be used for many dishes, including flatbread pizza. Stacy will host a live demo of how she creates flatbread pizza as part of our Diabetes Program "Personalize Your Plate" nutrition education month. The live demo will be on our Diabetes Program Facebook page on March 25, 2021 at 11 a.m. CST: https://www.facebook.com/DiabetesProgramPTN/

 

Category
 1 15.5oz can of Garbanzo beans (chickpeas) - SAVE fluid to add for puree
 2 cups masa flour (can be blue or white)
 1 tbsp sunflower oil (can use corn oil or olive oil)
 3 garlic cloves peeled OR 1 Tablespoon already minced
 1 tsp sea salt or plain salt
1

In food processor or blender, puree : Garbanzo beans, oil, salt, and garlic. Add garbanzo liquid as needed until pureed like baby food consistency. If this gets to water you will be adding more masa.

2

Scrape Garbanzo mixture into bowl.

3

Mix masa into the bowl one cup at a time with a spoon. Add more Masa as needed, and knead in remaining masa. Hands are the best tool! Dough should not be sticky and should have some spring in it. Cover and let sit for 20 minutes.

4

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

5

On a clean surface, put some masa down. Place dough on the floured surface and cut into equal parts OR leave full - it's your preference. Roll dough out thin (like a little more than a tortilla) - this dough will have some rise to it.

6

Place on parchment paper and bake for 10 minutes or until outer layer is stiff. I always bake my pizza or flatbread a little bit first before putting back in the oven with toppings.

7

If making pizza: Take out of oven and add desired toppings. Put back in oven.

8

Bake until golden brown.
