How To Make FlatBread

1. Mix the flour and yogurt (and oil and any other add-ins if using) in a mixing bowl until combined.
2. Add dough to a floured work surface with flour and knead for a minute so it comes together.
3. Divide the bread dough into 8 and roll these sections into balls.
4. Flatten each ball and then use a rolling pin to roll each piece into 10-12 cm rounds.
5. Heat a skillet or frying pan till hot, spray on a little oil and add your flatbread. use a little oil on the work surface to stop the dough sticking.
6. When the pan is really hot, lay the flatbread in the pan and cook each one for 1 to 2 minutes on each side.
7. Repeat until all the flatbreads are cooked.

Yogurt Bread Recipe Tips

• I prefer a slightly crunchy on the edge yogurt flatbread, so I roll them out thinner and cook a little longer.
• You can easily double or triple the recipebut then have at least 2 skillets on the go so you can cook them faster.
• Cook time depends on the thickness and size of the rolled dough–so start out with less time if you are unsure and increase accordingly.

Recipe Variations

You can flavor your flatbread however you wish. I suggest you make a basic plain batch, split it into portions and get everyone to sprinkle on their add-ins as they are rolling out the dough. Here are just a few mix-in suggestions to try:

• thyme
• basil
• parsley
• cayenne pepper
• rosemary
• black pepper
• stone house seasoning

Serving Suggestions

• Kabocha Squash Soup.
• Easy Bean Soup.
• Chocolate Hummus.
• Instant Pot Pinto Beans.
