Flatbread Maker Safety

CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION

This appliance is intended for household use only.

This appliance is equipped with a grounded-type 3-wire cord (3-prong plug). This plug

will only fit into an electrical outlet made for a 3-prong plug. This is a safety feature. If

the plug should fail to fit, contact an electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not

attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the grounding pin, part of the 3-prong plug.

To reduce risk of electrical shock, do not immerse the flatbread maker in water.

To avoid an electrical circuit overload do not use another high wattage appliance on

the same circuit with the flatbread maker.

This appliance has a short cord to reduce the hazards of becoming entangled or

tripping over a longer cord. An extension cord may be used if the electrical rating of

the extension cord is equal to or greater than the rating of the flatbread maker. Use

only an extension cord rated 10 amperes or greater. Care must be taken to arrange

the extension cord so that it will not drape over the countertop or table top where it

can be pulled on by children or tripped over.

Always use hot mitts to protect hands when opening the flatbread maker.

CAUTION: Escaping steam may cause burns.

WARNING: To reduce risk of personal injury, allow unit to cool before lifting or

moving. Do not lift or move while in operation.

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be

History of Flatbread •7

People all over the world have been using flatbread as a wrap for food for

thousands of years. Even though many of these breads are from different

ethnic cuisines, they are still remarkably similar. Most use basic ingredients

such as wheat flour, corn flour, rice flour, or buckwheat flour and water.

Some also use salt, fat, yeast, or baking powder as leaveners. Although the

flatbread concept is not new, it continues to grow in popularity—not only

presenting a delicious solution to today’s cooking, but providing a healthy,

quick one-dish meal for today’s busy families. Discover what you can create

using primitive bread recipes with a modern twist with your Hamilton

Beach Flatbread MealMaker Express.

The world of cooking is becoming a smaller place. Everywhere you look—

from fast-food restaurants to monthly cooking magazines—you’ll find people

mixing basic foods from different cultures—from Chinese and Indian to

Italian and Tex-Mex cuisines.

For example, you can make the basic Mexican Flour Tortilla, fill it with Thai

Shrimp, and you have blended two cultures into one delicious meal. Add

sun-dried tomatoes or pesto to that same Basic Flour Tortilla and wrap in

Chicken Primavera for an Italian twist. This concept, called fusion cooking,

is a growing trend in food preparation today. The recipes that have been

developed for the Flatbread MealMaker Express will show you how to take

the basic ingredients from different cuisines and wrap them up into a meal

that your family will have fun making—and eating.

Why stop with wraps? Many of the flatbreads in this book may be used

as other parts of a meal like edible “plates” or as a “scoop” to pick up a

filling. Serve them as a unique bread alternative to accompany a meal. Be

creative with your Flatbread MealMaker Express. It’s easy to create delicious

dishes using a fritatta, an omelet, a pizza crust, and even a dessert like a

crepe—all made in your Flatbread MealMaker Express.

Fusion Cooking

8•Flatbread Basics

Thickness

•The consistency of the dough will

be a major factor in the thickness

of the flatbread. Softer, wetter

dough will be easier to press

resulting in thinner, larger breads.

The type and amount of flour and

fat, and the use of leavening

agents, will also influence the

consistency of the dough.

•The dough for all recipes should

be soft and pliable. Ideally, the

dough should be wet, but not

sticky. You will know if the dough

is too wet if it sticks to your hands

or the Press during pressing.

Measuring Tips

Accurate measurement of the

following ingredients is the best

way to ensure that the dough will

be the right consistency.

Liquid

Use a clear plastic or glass

measuring cup when measuring

liquids. Place the cup on a level

surface; make sure your eye is

level with the amount you are

measuring.

Flour

Before measuring, stir the flour to

“lighten” it. Use a metal or plastic

cup made for measuring dry ingre-

dients. Spoon the flour into the cup

and level off with a knife or spatula.

Do not dip the cup into the flour or

bang down on the counter to level

the cup. This will pack the flour and

result in over-measurement.

Texture Tips

Oil, Shortening, and Butter

•You may use vegetable oil, short-

ening, or butter. Many of the recipes

call for 2-3 tablespoons of oil.

Tortillas made with 3 tablespoons

of oil will press out slightly larger

and have a flakier texture.

•If using 2 tablespoons of oil, add

1 additional tablespoon of water

to replace the liquid.

•If using shortening, use a rubber

spatula to press it firmly into a

dry measuring cup. Level off

using a knife or metal spatula.

Baking Powder

Baking powder has been added to

all of the tortilla recipes in this book.

It can be eliminated, but its addition

helps to give the tortillas a lighter

texture and thickness.

Size

•The amount of dough and the

pressure you exert when pressing

the dough will determine the size

and thickness of the flatbread.

The tip of the Latch on the Handle

produces an average flatbread.

The further the handle rotates

clockwise the thinner the flatbread.

For Example: The recipe for the

flour tortilla instructs you to divide

the dough into 6 pieces. If you

press each piece 2 to 4 times and

turn the Latch clockwise to the

end, you will get an 8-inch tortilla.

In this case you are exerting the

most pressure and flattening as

much as possible.

Flatbread Basics

Flatbread Basics •9

However, if you press fewer times

and lock at the tip of the Latch, you

will be exerting less pressure and

you will get a smaller, thicker 6-inch

tortilla.

Temperatures

Press

Once the Press is preheated, it

will remain at a thermostatically-

controlled constant temperature.

This is ideal for making all of the

flatbread recipes in this book.

Griddle

Three thermostat settings allow

foods to be cooked at the perfect

temperature.

•KEEP WARM – With the Cover

on, this setting keeps prepared

fillings, flatbread, or wraps warm

for up to 40 minutes.

•MEDIUM (Bake) – This setting is

used for baking thick breads.

Using the Cover during baking

turns the Griddle into an oven.

•HIGH (Cook) – Sauté, stir-fry, and

pan-fry foods for breakfast, lunch,

and dinner as you would with any

traditional electric griddle. Use

this setting to cook most of the

flatbreads and fillings for the

recipes in this book.

10•Tips for Success

Tips for Success

Indicates that this recipe

will need additional time

for rising or imparting

extra flavor.

Indicates a great “make

ahead” product. Some

flatbreads can be made

ahead of time and

refrigerated or frozen

until you are ready to use them.

NOTE: To rewarm the pressed and

cooked flatbreads, place them in a

250°F oven before using.

Indicates recipes that

have a preparation

and cooking time of

20 minutes or less.

Indicates low-fat recipes

as established by FDA

guidelines.

Indicates that you will

need to refer to the

“Mixing the Dough by

Hand” section on page

11 for more information.

About “Rising” Time

The time needed to make flatbread

from scratch will vary from recipe to

recipe. For example, flour tortillas,

which have no yeast, can be made

in just a few minutes. However, pita

bread, which is leavened with

yeast, will need time for the yeast

to activate.

About the Recipes

In the filling recipes, the bread

choices are located at the end of

the ingredient list. This allows you

to quickly locate the suggested

bread. You may use our sugges-

tions, or substitute any of your

favorite flatbread or refrigerator

convenience doughs.

NOTE: If you change the quantities

recommended in the recipe, this

may change your cooking time and

temperature.
