Equipment
Ingredients
- 25 grams extra virgin olive oil
- 300 ml Warm water
- 8 grams Active dried yeast
- 15 grams sugar
- 170 grams Greek yogurt
- 10g salt
- 510 grams plain flour (all purpose)
- 25 grams chopped coriander (Cilantro)
- 1 whole bulb crushed garlic
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar, yeast, and warm water. Stir well and leave in a warm place for 15 minutes, or until the mixture becomes foamy and bubbly.
- Whisk in the Greek yogurt, olive oil, and salt until combined.
- Add the flour, garlic, and coriander. Mix with a fork until a shaggy dough forms.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for 2–3 minutes until smooth. If the dough is sticky, add a little extra flour as needed.
- Divide the dough into 10 equal pieces and shape each into a ball. Lightly dust with flour, cover, and leave to prove in a warm place for 15 minutes.
- Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Roll one piece of dough into a circle approximately 6–7 inches (15–18cm) in diameter. Brush one side lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with a little salt.
- Place the flatbread in the hot pan, oil-side down. Brush the top side with olive oil. Cook for 1–1½ minutes, until the surface is covered with bubbles, then flip and cook for a further 1–1½ minutes until golden and cooked through.
- Repeat with the remaining dough pieces to make 10 flatbreads. Serve warm.
Notes
- If the dough feels too sticky, add a little extra flour, one tablespoon at a time, until it is easy to handle.
- Fresh coriander (cilantro) gives the best flavour, but dried coriander leaves can be used if needed.
- Keep cooked flatbreads wrapped in a clean tea towel to keep them soft and warm.
- Great served alongside dips, soups, curries, grilled meats, or Mediterranean-style salads.
- A whole bulb of garlic seems like a lot but I have tested this recipe lots and it takes this much to get some good flavour into them.
