Ingredients

  • 300ml tepid water

  • 8g instant yeast

  • 1 heaped tsp honey

  • 500g white bread flour

  • Pinch of salt

  • Extra flour for dusting

  • Olive oil for pan frying

1 hour and 10 minutes to prepare and cook | Yields 8 flatbreads


Method

  1. Combine the yeast and honey in the tepid water and whisk until frothy.

  2. Mix in the flour with a wooden spoon, then knead using a standing mixture or by hand for 2-3 minutes. Add the pinch of salt and continue kneading to incorporate.

  3. Once the dough is firm, leave it in a bowl and cover it with a clean tea towel. Set this aside to rise for half an hour.

  4. Divide the dough into 8 even pieces and roll to form balls. Then leave them to rise for an additional 10 minutes.

  5. Flatten each ball with a rolling pin to form the flatbread shapes and using your fingertips, create dimples in the dough.

  6. Heat up a drizzle of olive oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. After a minute, add one flatbread in and cook on both sides for 2 minutes, flipping halfway through. Repeat this process with the rest of the flatbreads, making sure to add a drizzle of oil to the pan each other.

  7. Serve warm and best enjoyed with gyros or with dips.
