I posted this photo to Instagram and had a recipe request. And since it’s pretty much the most perfect snack for a hot and lazy summer day like today, I’m more than happy to oblige.

FOR THE CRUST

1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/4 cup whole wheat flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp sea salt
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
3/4 cup water

FOR THE TOPPING

2 small avocados
sea salt + fresh black pepper
red chili flakes

In a mixing bowl, sift together dry ingredients. Make a well and add the oil and water. Using a large flexible spatula, combine the mixture until it forms an elastic dough. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead until pliable and spongy. Roll the dough out to desired thickness and place directly on a preheated grill. Cook on both sides for 2-3 minutes each, until cooked through.

After cooling slightly, top with mashed avocado, season with salt and pepper, sprinkle with red chili flakes, and devour immediately.
