If you think you can’t make bread, this recipe is for you. For one, it doesn’t actually involve any baking. And two, it’s so incredibly simple! All you need is 5 ingredients, 1 bowl and 1 pan. The result: soft, fluffy flatbreads with the perfect amount of chew. You can serve them with pretty much anything – grilled meats, dips, curries, soups… you name it. You could even make pizzas out of them! The possibilities really are endless.

  • Prep Time: 10 minutes
  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Category: Bread

Ingredients

Scale
  • 300 g self-raising flour
  • ¾ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp fine sea salt
  • ½ tsp nigella seeds, optional
  • 225 g full-fat natural yoghurt
  • plain flour, for dusting

Instructions

  1. Combine the self-raising flour, baking powder, salt and nigella seeds (if using) in a medium bowl. Add the yoghurt and mix until a shaggy dough forms. Don’t worry about any dry or unincorporated bits.
  2. Turn the dough out onto a clean, lightly floured work surface and knead until mostly smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. The dough should feel a little sticky. Return the dough to the mixing bowl, cover with a plate and let rest for 10 to 15 minutes.
  3. Divide the dough into 4 portions. Working one at a time, and using a floured rolling pin (or glass bottle), roll each portion into a ½ cm-thick disk. Brush off any excess flour from the surface of the flatbreads. Flour burns easily, and burnt flour tastes horrible!
  4. Heat a griddle, cast-iron or non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, place one (or two, depending on the size of your griddle) flatbreads on the pan – no butter or oil necessary. Cook until brown spots begin to appear on the bottom and there are air pockets on the surface, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip and cook until browned and charred in places, another 1 to 2 minutes. Repeat with the remaining flatbreads. You can wrap the cooked ones in foil to help keep them warm. Serve warm and enjoy!
