How to Make Your Own Easy Flatbreads

Flatbreads are quick and easy to make which makes them a great recipe for kids.  You can eat them warm and soft straight from the pan with a yummy filling or cook them until crisp and use as a healthier option to crisps for dipping.  You could even use them as a base for flatbread pizzas.

How to Make Flatbread

  • Use your hands to mix together the flour, pinch of salt and a little warm water.
  • Keeping adding warm water until the dough forms into a ball.  If it gets too sticky suddenly you can just add a little more flour.
  • Add the sunflower oil and knead the dough.

  • Wrap loosely in clingfilm and leave for 20 minutes.  I’ve had a look at various recipes and this seems to be optional but it gave us time to tidy up a bit.
  • Divide the dough into 4.
  • Roll each one out nice and thin.  The first flatbread we rolled out was a bit on the thick side and didn’t taste as great as the others.

  • Place in a hot dry frying pan (no oil needed) and cook on both sides.  They’ll bubble and puff up a little.
