Notes
- Liquid Consistency: The amount of liquid can vary slightly depending on your flour. Your dough should be soft and pliable, not overly sticky or dry. Adjust with a tiny bit more flour or milk/water if needed.
- Minimal Kneading: This no-yeast dough relies on baking powder, so it requires very little kneading – just enough to bring the ingredients together. Over-kneading can make the flatbreads tough.
- Even Thickness: Try to roll your flatbreads to an even thickness for consistent baking. Thinner flatbreads will be crispier, while thicker ones will be softer.
- Crispy Crust (Optional): For an extra crispy flatbread, you can brush the dough with a little olive oil before baking.
- Batch Baking: If you're baking multiple flatbreads, you might need to rotate the baking trays halfway through for even cooking.
- Customise Your Toppings: Beyond garlic and herb, try a sprinkle of chilli flakes, dried rosemary, or even a little grated cheese (like Parmesan) before baking for extra flavour.
- Serving Suggestions: These versatile flatbreads are perfect for scooping up curries, stews, or hummus. They also make excellent wraps for lunch, a quick base for mini pizzas, or simple cheesy garlic bread.
- These flatbreads are best enjoyed fresh and warm from the oven.
- Leftovers: Store any cooled leftover flatbreads in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
- Reheating: Reheat gently in a dry pan over medium heat, in the microwave, or quickly in a warm oven until warm and pliable again.
