Easy Flat-Breads

I love making bread at home but sometimes we don’t have the time or energy to make yeast bread or fresh soda bread and wait for the proving, rising and cooking. Flat-bread is a perfect way to start making bread and goes so well with homemade curries, kebabs,  even just a bit of hummus a salad rolled up for a quick lunch.

I have used black onion seeds in the recipe as I love the flavour and it goes very well with Indian themed food. However you can add fresh herbs, cumin, onion flakes and chillies the list is endless.

Makes about 8-10 smallish size flat breads.

 

Preparation time 5 minutes

Cooking time 3-4 minutes per flatbread

Freezes very well for up to 3 months

Ingredients:

• 300g plain flour
• 300g natural yogurt or buttermilk
• 1 tsp baking power
• ½ tsp of black onion seeds aka nigella seeds
• ¼ tsp salt
• A couple of tsp of oil for brush on top before cooking

Method:

1. Mix all the dry ingredients in a bowl then add the yogurt or buttermilk to the mix.
2. Get your hands in a mix all the ingredients until you have sticky dough it should not be very wet. though 
3. Flour a counter top and roll out the dough fairly thin about the thickness or a 2, 1 euro coins stacked.
4. You can use a cutter to divide the dough, but I just like to cut it up with a knife a have it all different shapes and sizes it looks more home made that way.
5. Heat a griddle pan or frying pan until hot, brush the bread with a little oil and place on the pan.
6. It’s ready to turn when you see its golden brown and firm on one side this should take 2 minutes on each size depending on how big they are cut.
7. In the summer the flatbread can be cooked on a bbq to get that authentic char grill flavour.
