Weight Watchers has changed their program. The points listed on my blog for WW points is for the old Momentum program.

I will be updating my recipes for the new Points Plus program. I am going to list the 4 nutrients needed to calculate the Points Plus for the recipe so that you can easily figure the PP per serving.

I am going to leave the old Momentum Points in case anybody is still following that program.

Grilled Flatbreads ~ Weight Watchers

2 1/4 tsp. active dry yeast
1 1/2 c. warm water
3 3/4 c. flour, divided
1 T kosher salt, divided
2 T Dried rosemary or Italian seasoning
Cooking spray
2 T olive oil

Dissolve yeast in warm water in a large bowl and let stand 5 min.

Mix 1 c. flour into yeast mixture.  Cover and let stand 30 min.

Add remaining 2 3/4 c. flour, 1 tsp. salt and 1 T rosemary to yeast mixture; stir until a soft dough forms.  Knead on a floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 6 min. (I did mine in the KitchenAid).  Place dough in a large bowl coated with cooking spray, turning to coat top.  Cover and let rise in a warm place free from drafts 40 min. or until doubled in size.  Gently press two fingers into dough.  If indentation remains, dough has risen (Mine took 30 min.).

Heat grill.

Punch down dough; divide in 12 equal portions.  Roll each portion into a 5" circle on a lightly floured surface (Mine were not circles).  Brush dough rounds with olive oil, sprinkle with remaining salt and seasoning.

Place dough rounds on grill rack coated with cooking spray; grill 3 to 4 minutes on each side or until puffed and golden.

YIELD:  1 dozen
1 flatbread = 3 WW points; 2.8g fat, 30.2g carbs, 1.2g fiber, 4.3g protein

These are SO GOOD! and very easy :)
