Christmas Leftovers Flatbread with Lemon & Garlic Wedges
Easy Flatbread Recipe Ingredients
- 300 g plain flour (all purpose flour)
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 3.5 tbsp / 50g unsalted butter (vg- replace with dairy free butter|)
- 185 ml milk (vg- replace with dairy free milk)
- On your stove combine butter and milk and heat until the butter is just melted
- Combine your flour, salt, butter and milk in a bowl.
- Lightly sprinkle your work surface with flour & then start to knead the combined mix. It won’t need much kneading. If the dough is a bit sticky you can at a touch more flour.
- Wrap with cling film and rest at room temperature for 30 minutes or so.
- Dust your worktop with flour, cut dough into 4 pieces, roll into balls, then roll out into 20cm, 2 – 3 mm thick.
- Not using any oil, heat your pan
- Place one flatbread in the pan, cook for around 2 minutes – it should puff up a lot. Once the bottom has nice golden patches on it, flip and cook the other side for 45 seconds to 1 minute until golden and it puffs up again.
- Grab a clean tea towel and keep the flatbreads wrapped in this so they are nice and moist/pliable.
- If you want a luxurious finish, you can melt some butter/ dairy free butter with chopped garlic/oregano/ parsley/chilli flakes in it & brush to the flatbread!
