What is Flatbread?

What is Flatbread?

Flatbread is a type of bread that’s made without yeast, giving it a thin, pliable texture that’s perfect for wrapping, dipping, or topping. Found in cuisines all over the world, from Indian naan to Mediterranean pita, it’s incredibly versatile and easy to make at home. Whether cooked on a hot pan or baked in the oven, flatbread is a great base for quick meals, snacks, or sharing platters, and can be customised with herbs, spices, or even stuffed with fillings. Most flatbreads are naturally vegetarian, and many are vegan too - just be sure to check for added ingredients like yoghurt or ghee.

How to Make Flatbread

How to Make Flatbread

Making flatbread from scratch is incredibly simple. Just a few ingredients and a little bit of time, and you’ll have fresh, soft flatbreads ready to enjoy. Follow our recipe below to make yours:

  1. In a large bowl, combine 150g of plain flour, 150g of Greek-style natural yoghurt, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and a pinch of salt.
  2. Stir the mixture until it’s fully combined, then transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for about 3-4 minutes, or until the dough becomes smooth and elastic. If it feels sticky, add a little more flour to your work surface.
  3. Once kneaded, divide the dough into four equal pieces, cover each one with cling film, and let them rest for 5-10 minutes. This step ensures your dough is ready for rolling and cooking.
  4. Once rested, place the pieces of dough on a lightly floured surface. Use a rolling pin to roll each piece into a round or rectangle shape, approximately 3mm thick.
  5. Heat a large frying pan on medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes, ensuring it's nice and hot for the best results.
  6. Once the pan is ready, pop 1-2 flatbreads in and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the underside is lightly golden and air bubbles form on the surface.
