Ingredients
  

  • 500 g Plain Flour
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 2 tbsp Dry Active Yeast
  • 150 ml Hot Water
  • 150 ml Milk
  • 3 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 Handful Herb of your choice Maybe add grated garlic :)

Instructions
 

  • In a large mixing bowl add 500g of Plain Flour, 1tsp of Salt and 2tbsp of Dry Active Yeast. Combine it all together with a fork.
  • Cautiously Add 150ml of cold milk to 150ml of hot water to result in a warm liquid. Add the liquid to the flour and roughly mix it taking care not to make it overly wet.
  • Add 3tbsp of Olive Oil and then knead the dough for about 3 minutes. It should result in a springy dough that bounces back when pressed.
  • Sprinkle a little water on to the dough and cover with a tea towel. Leave in a warm place like on your dashboard.
  • Leave to rest for at least 1 hour, so go for a walk and explore.
  • By this time the dough will be about double its size. Turn it out on to a lightly floured surface and divide into 6 balls.
    Oh and heat your pan to a medium heat.
  • Flatten one of the dough balls out to a disc about 7-8cm in diameter and 1cm thick.
    Place it onto the hot pan and dry fry each side for about 4-5 minutes. The flatbread will form bubbles. Ideally 3 or 4 large bubbles.
    Whilst cooking prepare the next flatbread.
  • Coat each finished bread with melted butter or herbs. We like to use a sprinkle of paprika and some finely chopped parsley.

Notes

Experiment with your favourite topping such as pressing grated garlic into the dough before frying.
