4-Ingredients

• Plain flour – the backbone of the dough, giving you soft, tender flatbreads with just enough structure to hold their shape.
• Salt – brings out the flavour and stops the flatbreads from tasting flat or bland.
• Oil – keeps the dough soft and pliable so the flatbreads stay flexible once cooked. Light olive oil is lovely, but canola, vegetable or rice bran all work just as well.
• Milk – adds richness and creates a softer, silkier texture, though water can be used if that’s what you have on hand.

This simple combination creates a smooth, silky dough that rolls easily and cooks into flatbreads with those beautiful golden bubbles you want to see in the pan.

How to Use Homemade Flatbreads

These flatbreads are endlessly versatile and work with just about anything. Use them for wraps and sandwiches, fold them around eggs and bacon for a quick breakfast, or serve them alongside your favourite curries to scoop up all that sauce. They’re perfect on a mezze board with dips, grilled meats and veggies, and they also make a brilliant swap for store-bought tortillas. And honestly, they’re pretty irresistible eaten warm straight from the pan with nothing more than a little butter.

Tips for Perfect Flatbreads

• Use lukewarm milk or water to help create a soft, smooth dough.
• Always let the dough rest so it relaxes and rolls out easily.
• Roll on a lightly floured surface but shake off excess flour before cooking for better browning.
• Don’t stress about perfect shapes, rustic flatbreads cook just as well.
• Cook in a hot pan so you get those signature golden bubbles.
• Brush with olive oil or melted garlic butter while still warm for extra flavour.
• Keep cooked flatbreads stacked in a clean tea towel to stay soft and flexible.

How to Store Your Flatbreads

Once the flatbreads have cooled completely, store them in a zip-lock bag or airtight container. They’ll keep well at room temperature for a couple of days and are perfect for quick lunches and wraps.

If you’d like to freeze them, layer the flatbreads with baking paper so they don’t stick together, then seal in a zip-lock bag or container. Thaw at room temperature and reheat in a dry pan, microwave or wrapped in foil in the oven until warm and soft.
