The quickest ever flatbreads

I discovered these flatbreads recently, which only use two ingredients!!!




Just flour and yogurt.

I've now tried it with variations on those two ingredients with great success.
For example; using gluten free flour/coconut flour(amazing!)/wholemeal flour.
And subbing in Creme fraiche/coconut cream for the yogurt. Or a combo of any if using up leftovers.

This is like the best fool-proof bread to make when you're in a hurry for a delicious lunch.



This summer, when all the family were staying, Nicole and I made a stack of them on several days.
Just get a mug and measure out flour then yogurt and tip into a mixing bowl.



It's not an exact science. Rough estimates work fine.



Bring the mixture together to form a dough. No kneeling, and don't over-work it. Just bring it together.




Nicole used a spatula. I just get in there with my hand and enjoy the sqiidge!


Wth plenty of flour on the worktop, turn out the dough and lightly tuck it into a ball.


Cut it into quarters, then eighths. (Ish.  Depends how much you've made!)

Flour your rolling pin and make each little ball into a flat pancake-looking thing.
We found you need plenty of flouring, or things got a bit sticky.





Pop your frying pan on the heat to warm up so its ready to receive the dough. No need for oil or butter. 


Pop your dough straight in the hot pan and give it about 30 seconds.



It starts to dimple by then, so just flip it over with a pallet knife or slice.


Another 30 seconds and it starts to wriggle like a chipatti. 



Add the topping of choice .... Always begin with wiggle of olive oil, then add seasoning.
Salt flakes and oregano is what went on first time round for our experiment.




But then we upped the game with cumin seeds. UNBELIEVABLY GOOD!
Also great is garlic salt and fresh coriander. Especially if you've used coconut flour in the dough.
Or sundried tomatoes and fresh basil leaves.
You could go olives and chilli flakes. Also rather super.
Play around.



Great to tear and dip in hummus, sweet chilli sauce, mango chutney, yogurt-cucumber-mint.
So makes a great appetiser for supper.

Or as an accompaniment to soup, or a curry.

How about ... Make an omelette, lay it on the top and roll it up as a wrap? I'm trying that next!



Ok. Just writing this post has got me jiggling about in flavour anticipation, so I'm off now to make some more. Just 'cos.
