Quick, easy flatbread




One of my favourite food combinations is houmous and pitta, so since I had one ingredient in the fridge, I decided to try and make my own flatbread. I wanted something quick to do that didn't require yeast and rising time, so I improvised with this recipe by just using plain flour, water, a small teaspoon of olive oil and some mixed herbs and salt. I kneaded the dough until it was smooth and rolled it out into thin round pieces, and then grilled it on a frying pan until brown specks appeared as above. One thing I would improve on would be to not roll it out too thin, otherwise it becomes very crispy (but it is still delicious, and tastes like crackers!). This keeps for a few days since it doesn't have any fresh ingredients.
This recipe is quick and tasty, but if I had time, I would still make the real thing by using yeast or yoghurt.
