A few simple ingredients give you one amazing bread. You can also add your own mixture of herbs into this bread... maybe a bit of oregano or coriander?

6 large flatbreads (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Mix the flour, salt and yeast together and then stir in the warm water and olive oil to make a soft dough.
  2. 2
    Transfer to a floured surface and knead for five minutes until springy, using extra flour if it's too sticky.
  3. 3
    Shape into a ball, brush over a little more oil, cover and leave to rise in a warm place until it doubles in size.
  4. 4
    This should take about an hour.
  5. 5
    Knead again on a floured surface and divide into six pieces, rolling each chunk into a ball.
  6. 6
    Leave to rise for 10 minutes.
  7. 7
    Preheat the oven to 240 C or 475 F.
  8. 8
    Meanwhile, roll the balls flat until they're only 3mm or 1/8 of an inch thick and about 17cm or 7 inches across.
  9. 9
    Place on greased baking sheets, cover with a tea towel and let rest for 30 minutes.
  10. 10
    Spray the dough with water and bake for two minutes.
  11. 11
    Check to make sure they haven't gone hard and if not, bake for a couple minutes more.
  12. 12
    You want them firm but not hard or brown.
  13. 13
    Remove from the oven and serve immediately with dips or as a wrap for all sorts of fillings.
  14. 14
    Great with kebabs!
  15. 15
    If you must serve them later, you can brush them lightly with oil and then reheat them by briefly heating them in a frying pan.

Awesome recipe. Definitely worth the effort of the risings and rollings etc. I cooked this for about 5 minutes on each side, then turned the oven off and made a smoked salmon spread by MarieAlice to serve them with. They were firmer and cripy on some edges in the end. Perfect in my eyes!!

    really delicious... I think I may have forgotten one of the last risings but it was still great. Not dry.. very fluffy, filling, and this made quite a bit when I cut into small triangles for hummus (the dough was a little dry though). I did have to cook about twice as long though... about 2 minutes on each side. Thanks for the great recipe!

    So good!!!! I was making it for a lemon-cumin bread salad, so I added about a 1/2 teaspoon each of cumin, yellow curry powder, and coriander. The ones that I rolled out thin puffed up like pita bread and the ones that were a little thicker than recommended were more like the flatbread they serve gyros on. All of it was soooo good! I may never buy pita bread again.

    I was somewhat confused by the European measurements for this recipe, and so used a scant 2 cups bread flour, 2/3 cup water, 1 1/2 teaspoons yeast, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano to make 4 eight-inch flatbreads. I cut the pita-like bread into wedges with a pizza-wheel and lightly toasted them for serving with Butter Bean Hummus #105181. This bread is also delicious plain ~ My husband says it would make great pizza crust! Thanks for sharing the recipe!
