How to make yeast-free flatbreads
The dough requires only a minimal amount of kneading. Just sufficient to bring together and form smooth, elastic gluten strands that will be light as air when cooked! Over-kneading can result in tough bread so don’t overdo it with your hands or mixer—a few minor breaks are okay but avoid too much mixing again.

Ingredients
- 325 g Plain Flour (All purpose)
- ½ tsp Salt
- 3 tbsp Olive Oil
- 200 ml Water
Instructions
- Mix the flour and salt in a bowl and make a well in the centre. Add the water and oil in the middle and mix until it forms a dough. Cover and leave to rest for 30 minutes.
- Divide the dough into 4 equal parts, then heat the pan with a little oil.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to the size of your pan. When the pan is hot add the flatbread and cook for 1-2 minutes or until golden, and it puffs up then flip over and cook the other side. Place on a warm plate and cover with a tea towel. Repeat the process for the rest of the flatbreads.
