Makes around 10
You will need:
- 300g plain flour
- ½ tsp salt
- 4 tbsps olive oil
- 200ml hot water
Mix the flour and salt in a large bowl and make a well in the centre.
Put the oil in the well and then pour in the hot water. Stir the mixture with a spoon until it is cool enough to bring together with your hands. Leave the mixture to stand for between 10 minutes to half an hour.
Divide the dough into 10 balls (roughly 50g each). Without using flour to dust, roll the balls out as thin as you can – you should be able to see your hand through them.
Heat a non-stick frying pan on a medium-high heat. Cook each flatbread in the pan for about 30 seconds on each side.
TIP: You can flavour the flatbread with seeds (e.g. nigella seeds or poppy seeds). To do this, add a teaspoon or 2 of seeds into the flour before any liquid is added to ensure even dispersion.
TIP: Make sure you use a non-stick pan. This is essential, else you will burn the pan, and the bread, and it will take forever to clean.
