Flatbread

Ingredients

200 g self raising flour
100 g plain yoghurt
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tbsp olive oil
1-3 tbsp water
Cumin seeds or nigella seeds (optional)

Method

Combine the flour, yogurt, baking powder and olive oil in a mixing bowl and add enough water to form a dough.
Knead dough for a few minutes and leave to prove for half an hour
Cut into four and roll into oval strips.
If using flavourings such as cumin seeds or nigella seeds, sprinkle over the top, then fold the dough and roll out again.
Place into a hot frying pan without oil and cook for one or two minutes on each side.

Tip

This is for smaller flatbreads as a side dish of a meal. If needing bigger flatbreads to be a major part of the meal, particularly if it is the only carbohydrate, increase the flour and yoghurt in the same proportions by 50% or more.

Note

The timing of 45 minutes includes proving time, actual preparation and cooking time is only about 15 minutes combined.
