Flat Bread

I was given this really easy flat bread recipe from my friend in Leeds.  She had seen it on a recent TV programme.  The same weight of self raising flour to Greek style thick yoghurt is used.  The amounts below make four flat breads which are then baked on a griddle or cast iron frying pan.

It is very versatile and can be used as a sort of “cheat’s” naan bread with Indian meals.

Ingredients

• 225g Self Raising flour*
• 225g Greek style yoghurt
• 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder*
• Large pinch of salt
• *
• * if you only have plain flour just use more baking powder than normal to the amount of flour.

Method

• Mix flour, baking powder and salt together.
• Mix the flour and yoghurt together to give a smooth dough.
• Wrap the dough in plastic and place in the fridge for 20 minutes.
• Cut the dough into four equal pieces.**
• Flatten each piece and press out or roll on a floured board to a form a thin circle.
• Heat the griddle or frying pan until it is hot.
• Cook each flat bread on both sides.
• Serve immediately.
• Lovely with lots of butter.

Variation

Add some seeds such as black onion seeds to the dough when rolling out.

** you can freeze these portions – wrap them individually in thin plastic and place in a box.
