As much as I love a slice of sourdough, stick two pieces together to create a sandwich and pray you don’t lose a tooth! These flatbreads can stand in for bread in almost any scenario - and even better, they’re easy to make at home and take no longer than 30 minutes. Simultaneously sweet and spicy, they are delicious on their own but also incredibly versatile. I use them for everything from mezzes to scoop up hummus or tzatziki, as a side to curries and stews to mop up sauces or to simply dip in warming soups. Why not wrap a carrot, courgette & halloumi fritter in one with sriracha and some sliced gherkins for a mouth-watering sandwich, or smear with ketchup and load with crispy streaky bacon and a dash of Tabasco for a knockout breakfast. There’s no wrong way to eat them and these flatbreads are the easiest and ultimate cheat to homemade bread. Enjoy!
Method:
- Use the CleanForce™ Green Garlic Press to crush the garlic cloves. Add to the 9.5" frying pan along with the chopped chilli and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Place over a medium heat and sauté, stirring continuously for about 4 minutes, until the garlic is golden. Remove from the heat, stir in the honey and season. Set aside to cool.
- Add the flour, baking powder and yoghurt to the largest Nest™ bowl. Add the garlic mixture, season once more and mix to form a dough.
- Tip the dough out onto a generously floured surface and knead for 2-3 minutes to form a smooth ball. Add more flour as needed. Cover and rest for 5 minutes.
- Divide the dough into four. Use the PrecisionPin™ adjustable rolling pin (set to 2mm thickness) to roll out each ball of dough. As they are ready, separate each one with a small sheet of non-stick baking parchment to prevent sticking.
- Place the frying pan over a very high heat. When smoking hot, lay a flatbread into the pan. Once it has started to puff up, turn over and cook on the other side. This will take between 1 and 2 minutes on each side. Once ready, cover with a tea towel to keep warm.
- When serving, brush with the remaining olive oil and garnish with some coriander and fresh chilli if you wish.
