Fall Squash Babaghanoush with Flaky Flatbread

Ingredients
  

Babaghanoush

  • 1 large eggplant, quartered
  • 1 carnival squash sub 1/2 butternut squash
  • 1 garlic pod
  • cup tahini
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • ¼ tsp sea salt
  • ¼ tsp cayenne optional

Flatbread

  • 2 cups bread flour sub half all-purpose half whole-wheat or white whole wheat (*not tested)
  • ½ cup warm nondairy milk
  • 1.5 tsp active dry yeast
  • ½ tsp sugar
  • cup warm water
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Instructions
 

  • For the flat bread, mix active dry yeast, sugar, and warm water. Wait 5-10 min until it starts to bubble. Then mix with the rest of the bread ingredients. Knead for ~ 3-4 min, adding more flour if necessary. Let it rise in a well-oiled bowl for an hour.
  • Preheat oven to 400 F. Brush top of eggplant and squash with olive oil and sea salt.
  • Peel paper off garlic and wrap it in foil.
  • Place eggplant, squash, and garlic in oven. Take eggplant out after 30 minutes and take squash and garlic out after 40 minutes.
  • Let the oven-roasted goodies cool before blending all the babaghanoush ingredients.
  • For the bread: preheat a cast-iron or oven-safe pan at 300 F for 10 min. Then place it on the stove at medium heat.
  • Take some olive oil in your hands and shape the dough into about 5-6 pieces. Toss it onto the pan and smooth out the edges. Flip when bubbles show up on the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Cook for 2-3 minutes on the other side.
