Easy Flatbread (good for quick pizza)


Makes 2

125g (4oz) self-raising flour
125g (¼ cup) natural yoghurt (fat-free if you like)
¼ tsp baking powder
Good pinch of salt
1 green chilli, chopped (optional)

1.  In a bowl, mix together the flour, yoghurt, baking powder and a good pinch of salt. 

2.  When it starts coming together, flour your hands and knead the dough on a lightly floured surface. 

3.  Divide the dough into 2 pieces, sprinkle on the chopped green chilli (if using) and roll out into circles/ovals about 3mm thick

4.  Heat a large ridged griddle pan or frying pan, add a little olive oil and wipe around pan with kitchen paper. Add the flatbreads and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, turning once, until golden on both sides.

These make a good base for a quick pizza. Here, I've spread a little tomato purée over the flatbread, sprinkled on grated cheddar cheese, chopped bacon, spicy chorizo, sliced mushrooms and sliced fresh onion, a pinch or two of dried thyme and a little parmesan, topped with chillis, and cooked in the oven at 220°C for about 10 minutes.
