Flatbread with Shrimp and White Bean Hummus

Equipment

  • Stand Mixer/Dough Hooks: A stand mixer with dough hook attachment for efficiently mixing and kneading flatbread dough.

  • Kitchen Scale: Essential for precise measurements in recipes, ensuring the right balance of ingredients.

  • Microplane Grater: Used to finely grate garlic and cheese that might be added to your hummus or bread.

  • Pot with Lid: Needed for cooking shrimp if opting for a sautéed version, ensuring they are properly steamed or boiled when needed.

  • Strainer/Sieve: Used in the recipe process to drain and rinse beans. A fine mesh strainer is ideal for separating solids from liquids without losing nutrients.

  • Measuring Cups & Spoons: Vital for accurately measuring dry and liquid ingredients, ensuring the hummus has the right consistency.

  • Mortar and Pestle/Blender: While not directly listed in the recipe link provided, these are useful tools. A mortar and pestle can be used to prepare garlic for the hummus (though blenders or food processors are more common), while a high-powered blender might be needed if adapting traditional flatbread preparation methods.

  • Wooden Spoon/Silicone Spatula: Essential tools for mixing and scraping ingredients out of bowls, pots, or skillets during recipe preparation.

  • Spatula: Useful for flipping shrimp in a pan if you choose to include sautéed shrimp in your dish. For the flatbread, it might be more about handling and transferring the bread from baking pans or skillets.
