Lockdown flatbreads

[jayonabike]

Can’t get any bread flour or yeast?
Normal flour, white, wholemeal, brown or whatever you have, a pinch of salt and enough water to form a dough. No need to knead, just roll out.

Heat a frying pan, no oil needed and cook for a minute or so on each side

Wrap in foil whilst still warm to keep them soft

Go well with a curry, or fill with whatever and roll up like a wrap. I’m having tuna mayo & cheese for lunch

Just had mine.

You missed out “open all the doors and windows to let out the smoke”

From last week...

Optional extras include brushing with melted (garlic) butter. I usually use yogurt rather than water, if I have any, or milk. A raising agent such as self-raising flour or baking powder means you can get the bread puffed up a bit, if liked. You can cook them on the BBQ too if you want.

I made flatbread for the first time a couple of weeks ago, I used yogurt in mine,

Poori are made quite similarly.

Unleavened flatbreads have been made from nought but flour, water and a hot stone for millennia yet when I whip a batch up to present at a BBQ or dinner party I am met with amazement that I made them.

You can add spices such as cumin & ground coriander too.

They make passable pizza bases too, in a pinch.

I'm going to try this for sure. Also, I think The Lockdown Flatbreads is a great pub quiz or indie band name.

I do it per the OP. At a guess about 300g of flour and around 2/3 of that in binding agent, but if it’s too wet or dry you can always correct by adding more. A good pinch of salt. This‘ll make 6-8 small/medium ones. A golf ball size rolled really thin will make a decent size. Use plenty of flour for rolling.

Many thanks..
I'll make a note

Mm, yes! Chilli flakes and cumin seeds go in in mine.

I remember seeing them at the Custard House in Brum back in the late 60's before they went mainstream and sold out 😉
