Wholewheat flatbread

This wholewheat flatbread is yeast-free and additive-free, so much more healthy than any shop-bought version. It’s super easy to make it too! This is the basic recipe -  you can add dried herbs, caramelized onion, garlic powder, cumin or sesame seeds etc to the dough. For a vegan version use plant-based yogurt.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup wholewheat flour
  • ½ cup yoghurt
  • 2 Tbsp water
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vegetable oil optional
  • Oil to cook

Method
 

  1. Mix the flour, baking powder and salt together in a large mixing bowl.
  2. In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, water and yoghurt together.
  3. Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients while stirring.
  4. Using your hands, form the dough into a soft ball. If the dough is too sticky, add a bit more flour. If it’s crumbling and not holding together, add another spoonful of water.
  5. Place the dough in the bowl, then cover with a kitchen towel. Rest for 10 minutes.
  6. Divide the dough into four equal pieces and roll them into balls.
  7. Using a rolling pin, roll out each ball into about 5 mm thick rounds.
  8. Add a drop of olive oil to a frying pan and heat it over medium low heat.
  9. Cook the flatbreads, one at a time, for 3 to 4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  10. Oil the pan before frying the next flatbread. 
  11. Serve the flatbreads warm or at room temperature.
  12. For garlic flatbread, brush them with some olive mixed with minced garlic, just before serving.
