1. **Roast the Sweet Potato**:
– Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and peel the sweet potato, then cut it into chunks. Spread the chunks on a baking sheet and roast for about 25-30 minutes, or until the sweet potato is soft and easily mashed with a fork. Alternatively, you can microwave the sweet potato until tender (about 5-7 minutes), but roasting will bring out a deeper flavor.
– Once roasted, mash the sweet potato until smooth and set it aside to cool slightly.
2. **Prepare the Dough**:
– In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, cumin, coriander, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until the dry ingredients are well mixed.
– Add the mashed sweet potato and olive oil to the bowl, mixing until incorporated. Gradually add water, starting with 1/4 cup, and stir until a soft dough forms. You may need to add a little more water if the dough is too dry.
– Once the dough is formed, knead it on a lightly floured surface for about 3-4 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic. If the dough feels sticky, add a little more flour.
4. **Cook the Flatbreads**:
– Heat a large, dry skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the rolled-out dough to the pan. Cook each flatbread for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown spots appear and the bread puffs up slightly.
– Use tongs or a spatula to flip the flatbread. You may need to adjust the heat slightly to ensure the flatbreads cook evenly without burning.
5. **Serve and Enjoy**:
– Once cooked, remove the flatbreads from the pan and place them on a plate. You can cover them with a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm. Optionally, garnish with fresh herbs or serve with your favorite dips, curries, or spreads.
