Directions
- 1
Combine the flour and salt in a mixing bowl. Stir in any optional spices at this stage.
- 2
Add the warm water gradually, mixing with a fork first, then kneading by hand for 1–2 minutes until you have a smooth, soft dough that doesn't stick to your fingers. Adjust with a splash more water or a pinch more flour as needed.
- 3
Let the dough rest for 5 minutes, then roll it out on a lightly floured surface to about ⅛ inch (3 mm) thick. For a stuffed version, add grated cheese or deli meat, fold over and roll flat again.
- 4
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Cook the flatbread for 2–3 minutes per side until lightly golden and cooked through.
- 5
Serve warm with butter, cream cheese, jam, or use as a wrap with chicken, pulled pork, or your favourite fillings.
💡 Chef's Tip
Swap a splash of water for warm milk for an even softer texture. A pinch of baking powder gives a slightly puffier result. The dough keeps well in the fridge for up to 24 hours wrapped tightly in cling film.
