Method

  1. Heat grill to high and dust a non-stick baking sheet with a little flour. Mix the self-raising flour, sesame seeds, a pinch of salt and a grind of black pepper in a large bowl. Stir in the natural yogurt and milk or water, then mix well to form a soft dough.
  2. Divide the dough into 4 and press each piece into an oval approx 5mm thick. Place on the sheet and grill for 3 mins on each side until puffed and golden. Brush with a little olive oil before serving, if you like.

    the mixture was very wet and hard to flatten out so I grilled on both sides, but the taste was good and they are dead easy & quick to make for "homemade bread".

    I added more sesame seeds - probably 4 tbsp ish - and didn't add water/milk to the mixture as was just right with just the yogurt (used greek). Very easy. Friends were impressed I had made home made bread for a quick mid-week meet up! Served with warm lentil and halloumi salad: http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/6177/warm-puy-lentil-cherry-tomato-and-halloumi-salad

    I made a gluten-free version of this - using Doves' gluten free plain flour (didn't have self-raising), baking powder and bicarbonate of soda, and a gluten substitute. Tried it under the grill but they came out really dense and stodgy. Tried again the 'chapatti' way by rolling them thinner and cooking on a lightly oiled flat frying pan, delish! Took on the consistency of a paratha. Very easy, making them again for sure!

    I made these yesterday and they were lovely - so quick and easy to make. I put in extra sesame seeds, lots of black pepper and left out the milk as the dough was soft enough with the yoghurt. I used fat free greek style yoghurt for a lower calorie version. Also, I dry fried them (well, I used an oil spray!) in a non-stick pan on both sides instead of grilling as it's so much easier than grilling especially when the dough is soft - absolutely gorgeous - the family loved them. I served them with chicken skewers and salsa.
