Method

  • step 1

    Mix the flour, salt, yeast and oil in a large bowl and add enough water to make a soft, but not sloppy, dough. Knead well. Put into a lightly oiled bowl to rise for 1 hr until doubled in size.

  • step 2

    Divide the dough into 8 pieces, about 250g each, and use a rolling pin to flatten each one into a circle, 15cm in diameter, about 1cm thick. Then leave the pieces on a lightly floured baking tray to prove for 5 mins. Heat a large frying pan to a medium heat and dry-fry each piece until browned on both sides, about 5 mins in total. Set aside to cool slightly before serving.

Pretty good recipe, made approx. 8 small/med flatbreads, about the size of an outstretched hand. I found the recipe to be a bit too salty (2tsp is more than I've seen in similar bread-type recipes), and I added 1tsp of sugar - most bread-type recipes include sugar to help activate the yeast. My cast…

For anyone saying that it's too sloppy/wet, try leaving out the olive oil until the end. Bread is tricky to work with when you add fat at the start (fat inhibits the gluten strands from forming). Work your dough until it's nice and supple, then add the olive oil. It'll incorporate MUCH more…

Just done these with brilliant results. I have failed to make flat breads successfully in the past. I put about 250ml of water to start with, adding 10ml till it felt right. It came together like a dream and kneading was a breeze. Recipe doesn't indicate how long to knead for though? I did it for…
