Flatbread with Yogurt (Jamie Oliver)

flatbreadyogurtjoJamie Oliver’s 3-ingredient dough is literally my go-to for all dough. You can make anything with it and I prefer this over the 2 ingredient dough for one reason only. It’s so fluffy and light. The addition of baking powder just takes it to the next level. You can make naan, puri, or bread. You can bake it, fry it, grill it on the griddle. It’s the easiest dough recipe ever.

self raising flour (350 g)
full fat yoghurt (start with 250-350 g and increase as needed for a soft dough)
1 tsp. baking powder

To Serve:
butter or garlic butter

Pour the flour and baking powder into a bowl, make a well in the middle, then add the yoghurt. Use your clean hands to mix it together, until you have a dough.

Wash and dry your hands, then dust your work surface and hands with flour. Split the dough into 6 equal pieces. Stretch the dough with your hands or roll it out with a rolling pin to about ½ cm thick.

Put a large non-stick frying pan or griddle on a medium-high heat.

Once the pan is hot, carefully add the dough to the dry pan and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until golden and puffed up. Use tongs to turn the flatbreads over and cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side.

Remove the flatbreads from the pan and spread a little knob of butter on top, moving it about with the back of a spoon until it’s melted.

You can serve your flatbreads with honey or jam, you can top them with eggs, or serve them with a curry.
