Ingredients

Makes 5-6 flatbreads

• 325g wholegrain flour
• 1 ½ tsp nigella seeds
• 30g wild garlic, stalks removed finely chopped
• 5 g soft herbs, chopped
• ½ tsp sea salt
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 250g full-fat natural yogurt/or non-dairy yogurt
• 1 tbsp extra virgin oil

 

Method

• Whisk together the flour, baking powder, nigella seeds and salt until well combined. Make a well in the centre.
• Add yogurt, olive oil, wild garlic and herbs into the well and slowly mix the water into the dry mixture using your hands, until it comes together as a dough. Knead for a minute or so until you have a smooth ball. Set aside and let the dough rest for 10-15 minutes.
• Next, divide the dough into balls, about the size of a tennis ball. Keep these covered with a tea towel to avoid them drying out.
• Place the balls between two sheets of parchment, adding a little flour if the dough is a bit sticky, and flatten with the palm of your hand before using a rolling pin to roll them out, rotating the parchment between rolls to keep the flatbreads round.
• Heat a griddle pan pan to until hot, brush one side of the flatbread with oil and griddle pan in the pan for 1-2 minutes before flipping, brushing with a bit more oil and cooking on the other. Alternatively, you can use a regular frying pan.
• Serve warm. Keep any leftovers in the fridge and reheat in the oven or under the grill.
