Homemade Flatbread

Step 3: Cooking the Flatbreads

  1. Preheat the Pan:
    • Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Make sure it’s hot before you start cooking the flatbreads.
  2. Cook the Flatbreads:
    • Place one flatbread onto the hot skillet and cook for about 1–2 minutes on one side, or until bubbles start to form and the bottom is golden brown.
    • Flip the flatbread and cook for another 1–2 minutes until both sides are golden and fully cooked.
    • Repeat the process for all the flatbreads.

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy

  • Once cooked, stack the flatbreads on a plate and cover them with a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm and soft.
  • These flatbreads can be served with soups, stews, curries, or used as wraps or sandwich bases. You can also spread butter, garlic, or herbs on top for an extra burst of flavor.

Tips for Perfect Flatbreads

  1. Consistency of Dough:
    • The dough should be soft and slightly sticky but manageable. Avoid adding too much flour as it can make the bread dense.
  2. Cooking Temperature:
    • Ensure the pan is not too hot, as this can burn the flatbreads before they cook through. Medium heat works best.
  3. Make Ahead:
    • These flatbreads can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Reheat on the skillet or microwave before serving.
