Flat bread - Real Recipes from Mums

A quick, easy and versatile flat bread recipe.

Ingredients (makes 8 pieces of flatbread)

2 Cups Self Raising Flour (plus extra for kneading and rolling)
1 Cup Greek Yoghurt
Olive oil
Salt (optional)

Method

Preheat oven to 200-210°C
Place yoghurt and 1 cup of the flour into a large mixing bowl and mix until combined (using hands is easiest as the mixture is quite thick)
Add the rest of the flour a little bit at a time, until you have formed a dough ball. If the dough is too sticky (it depends on the brand of greek yoghurt you use), add a little extra flour.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured board or bench for 5 minutes, then section the dough into even pieces, depending on how big you want it to be (I generally keep halving the dough until I have 8 evenly sized pieces)
Roll each piece into a ball, then roll flat on a lightly floured surface. Roll to the desired thickness (I have found that anything less than 1/2 cm works well, although If you want flat bread fingers to dip into dips and such go thicker), and place them on a baking tray lined with baking paper (you will need 2 - 3 baking trays)
Drizzle each piece with a generous amount of olive oil (rub it all over), and season with salt (optional), then pop in the oven to bake for 15-20 minutes until golden.
Serve as is, or cut into fingers to accompany dip/soup etc.

Notes

I came across this on a blog and was instantly addicted! This goes great with dips so is perfect for entertaining. It also makes a yummy accompaniment to soup, or can be layered with your favourite sandwich (or pizza!) toppings.

My son’s step mother has made this bread for him in the past and I would really love to have a go making it myself.

I’ve had this before and it tastes great plus is easy to make. You can use the same ingredients to do a quick/easy homemade pizza dough

Great recipe, I have used this for ages, sometime I put herbs in with the flour or parmasan cheese, great pizza base, Love using Yoghurt instead of Yeast so much quicker.

This is so super easy – we love making this and cooking over a fire pit in winter. Works fantastically.

Love a flat bread with a yummy curry. Have managed to find both from Mouths of Mums web page. So exciting
