Ingredients
- 500 g of strong white flour,
- 2 tsp of salt
- 7 g of fast-action dried yeast,
- 3 tbsp of olive oil
Method
Step 1
Mix all the ingredients in a large bowl. Add 250–300ml (8–10fl oz) water, or enough to make a soft dough, and knead well. Place in a lightly oiled bowl, cover loosely with oiled cling film, and leave to rise for 45 minutes, or until doubled in size.Step 2
Turn the dough out on to a lightly floured surface and lightly knead. Divide into 8 equal pieces and flatten each piece to a 1cm (1/2in) thick circle. Use a rolling pin to flatten them a little more. Place on a lightly floured baking tray for 10 minutes to prove.Step 3
Heat a large frying pan on a medium heat, then add a flatbread. Fry until brown for 3 minutes, then turn over and fry for another 2 minutes. Set aside on a wire rack while you cook the rest of the batch, then serve.
