Flatbread recipes

Pink.

Hi,

We have an older thread with some flatbread recipes that should help so I'll merge your thread with it as it helps to keep the recipes together.

Hi all,

I'm wanting to make my own flatbreads for dipping in soups, houmous etc. but I would also like to freeze them...

I'm thinking perhaps a yeast-free recipe as that would surely be easier to get out of the freezer and whack into a pan for (almost) instant bread?

Anyone have a tried and tested recipe/method?

I just use Jamie's pizza base recipe - really easy and works every time.

I use a naan bread recipe done in the breadmaker, however I've just lost my recipe booklet that came with my breadmaker! Anyone got a cookworks breadmaker and can PM this???

hex2

1lb wholemeal flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 tespoon oil

Make into dough with 350ml warm water. Knead for 5 minutes. Divide into golf ball sized portions (12). Roll into circles, as thinly as you can manage. Cook in a hot frying pan until the surface bubbles, turn and repeat with the other side, pressing it down. Cooked when brown spots appear. Freeze once cooked.

HTH I have made them a few times but never frozen them.

Those sound good, hex! Do the edges turn out nice and crispy?

Yes they do. Have a good one for pitta bread as well if you like but they involve yeast.

If you wouldn't mind, that would be lovely. I'm not averse to using yeast but I wanted a nice quick flatbread. Would love to make my own pitta

hex2

400g strong flour
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon fast acting yeast
1 tablespoon olive oil
300ml warm water
1 teaspoon salt

Mix dry stuff, then add the wet. Add the water in stages so it doesn't end up too wet (I used about 280 last time). Knead for 4 minutes. Cover the bowl and let it rest for an hour. Knock the air out again, and then split it into 10 balls. Roll them out and put them on an oiled tray and let them rest for 20 minutes. Cook them in a hot oven (220 fan) for 8 minutes. Wrap them in a damp tea towel to cool down as this keeps them soft. Can freeze once cooked, and then dampen and heat again to reuse.

Made by small boy by hand, and by me in the kenwood earlier this week - both batches perfect and well worth the effort.

Sounds like they may be nice hex2, but i haven't got a kenwood and i think if i was to go walking up and down the road looking for a small boy i'd have the police knocking on my door.
