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.

    Just made these for a healthy lunch option with soup tomorrow- experimented by using a packet of mixed seeds, and on two of them I decided to give it a sweet finish and glazed in honey which works really well because of the yoghurt used to make them! Just remember to roll them really thinly!

    Followed the recipe ingredients then rolled out very thinly. Tried both the frying method suggested and grilling. Personally preferred the grilled approach although both seemed to work fine. Will try splitting the mixture into 8 next time to make smaller flatbreads.

    Great recipe, so quick and easy to make! Just be careful not to add too much milk/water (I only needed a little splash to bring the dough together). They also make great sandwiches - press them out to about 10mm, grill as above, then slice in half when cool. Yummy!
