Herby spelt and yoghurt flatbreads
Perfect served warm as an accompaniment, snack or starter
Servings: 2
Calories: 665kcal
Equipment
- Large bowl
- Frying pan
Ingredients
- 250 g white spelt flour (or strong white bread flour) plus extra for dusting
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp fine sea salt
- 85 ml natural yoghurt
- 85 ml warm water
- 1 - 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 large handful mixed herbs (I use a mix of flowering chives, oregano, borage, thyme, sage or rosemary)
- Goat’s milk ricotta to serve (optional)
- Pistachio dukkah or other seeds, such as sesame, nigella or black onion (optional)
Method
- Mix together the flour, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Make a well in the centre and pour in the yoghurt and warm water. Combine to make a slightly sticky mixture. Turn out and knead for a good five minutes until you have a smooth ball. Leave to rest for at least 15 minutes in the bowl, covered with cling film or a clean, damp tea towel. (It’s even better if rested for a few hours.)
- Divide the dough in half. Lightly flour a work surface and roll one half into a circle about 5mm thick. Brush the top with some of the oil and sprinkle with half of the herbs – the more haphazardly the better – leaving some of the sprigs whole. Repeat this step with the remaining piece of dough.
- Preheat the grill to high.
- Place a large frying pan over a high heat until it is as hot as possible. Add the first flatbread and cook for two minutes, or until the base is golden and the edges are puffing up. Place under the grill for a further one to two minutes, or until the top is looking golden in patches and the herbs have wilted into the bread. Set aside while you cook the other flatbread.
- Serve the flatbreads warm as an accompaniment, snack or starter. I often pair them with my goatʼs milk ricotta scattered with some pistachio dukkah or seeds.
