Hi Bold Bakers! Bread making does not have to be a scary process
or a long process. I'm
going to show you how you can make some amazing
flatbread using just three ingredients that you
probably already have in your kitchen
and you can do it all under an hour. The recipe
can be found on BiggerBolderBaking.com along
with all of my other recipes.
So first things first, the most important ingredient
in bread is flour. So here I have
some all-purpose flour or plain flour.
You can also use whole wheat flour, chickpea flour,
or a gluten free substitute that will work really well.
So our next ingredient is baking powder. Now
this is going to help your bread rise
and create those lovely little bubbles, then all you want to
do is just give these a little mix together.
So one of the reasons this bread is so fast and easy
is because it doesn't contain yeast,
the baking powder is going to be the raising agent. So it
just makes it really simple. Okay, lovely.
So our third and final ingredient is yogurt. Now you can
use plain yogurt, or you can even use Greek yogurt.
The one thing you want to make sure you
don't do is use like a vanilla flavored yogurt
because that's not going to taste good. Okay,
lovely. What did I tell you?
Three ingredients, simple, no machine needed. We're just going to
now mix it up by hand. So you get to a stage
with this dough where it's starting to come together,
but not really. So what we're going to do is go in with our hands,
and then just pull it together
until it forms a ball. So now if you have never made bread before,
but want to this is a fantastic
kind of gateway to bread making.
It's really, really easy recipe, you do not need a machine
three ingredients, I mean, doesn't get much easier.
And the results are pretty amazing.
Once you go in with your hand,
it'll just take around a minute to bring it together.
Okay, lovely. Now if you haven't seen me do this before,
this is the sign of a good dough,
a ball and a clean bowl. This is what we're going for.
It's going to be a lovely bread.
So now just gently flour your surface and turn out your dough.
So this piece of dough makes
six flatbreads. So all you want
to do is just cut it in to six even sized pieces.
so then with your little pieces of dough just roll them
into a little ball this will make it much
easier for us to roll them into a circle
so here's my dough now i already tell you it's going to be
really lovely to work with because it's soft it's just going
to be absolutely fantastic so onto a
floured surface i'm going to put it down
and i have a rolling pin here and you can roll these
straight away it's not like a yeasted dough where you have
to wait let it rest wait for it to proof
anything like that this is so fast like i said you can
do it under an hour so just roll these out
try and get a round circle, it's not always easy.
But you know what, if it's not round,
at the end of the day it's still amazing homemade bread,
so no one's gonna be complaining. Just roll
it out to around 8 inches by 8 inches.
It will roll out nice and thick. And if you need a little
bit of extra flour sprinkled on there, go right ahead.
Wow, I'm actually surprised this came out
kinda round. Great, our first flatbread.
So here I have my secret ingredient, garlic butter. All
All this is is a little bit of crushed up garlic
and some melted butter and it absolutely
smells amazing.
So what I'm going to do is just brush
this quite generously on the side that is facing
you of the dough.
So just one side, all around.
This is going to give your bread really great flavor
and if you're having it with curries
or something like that, forget about it, gorgeous.
So over here on the stove I have a frying pan,
a nice big one, now this is non-stick
so it's gonna make it really easy to cook your bread.
Now I'm gonna turn this on to a medium heat,
and just let it come to temperature, not too
hot where it's smoking, not too low,
we just want to get it a nice medium heat.
So it's been a few minutes, I can tell that my pan is nice and warm.
Just carefully take your bread dough,
and then garlic butter side down, place it onto
your frying pan.
Now all you want to do is just let this cook
for around 2-3 minutes on each side.
I'm gonna go ahead and roll out the rest of my flatbreads.
Okay so give it a little peek,
this is lovely golden brown, so we're gonna flip it over
and give it around two minutes on this side.
Now one of the really fun things about this,
look at the bread it bubbles up when you turn over
and it gets really lovely and airy.
This is just awesome bread.
I get asked a lot what is my favorite thing to make and hands down
it's bread. Because you take a few simple ingredients
and you can create hundreds if
not 1000s of different types of breads.
This is just an example. If you go on my website,
you will see I have lots of breads that are no knead
that have a little bit of yeast that have
no yeast, loads of different options for you to try.
So for this recipe, I put the nutritional
value and the calorie count on my website
for those of you who are interested in it.
Okay, so it's been a few minutes I can see underneath is lovely
and brown now. So I'm going
to lay it into my basket.
And then I'm going to sprinkle over some fresh parsley. And then just
continue cooking off the rest of your flatbreads.
Oh my gosh, they smell amazing. So if you're in the
middle of making dinner like a curry
and you realize you want some bread, whip these up and
and you'll have them ready in no time at all.
So my favorite part of bread is ripping
it open. And just look at that.
You see the bubbles that we created? It's really thin,
almost like a buttery kind of a dough.
This bread is kind of similar to a tortilla or
even like a lavash. It is great to have with curries,
stews, or even as a wrap. Oh my gosh,
it's crispy and soft at the same time.
Without a doubt, this is an incredible recipe. Three
ingredients, no oven needed, all within under an hour.
It's kind of hard to believe. This
bread is the definition of a no fuss recipe
that anyone can make. If you make it, rate
it on my website because I would love to know what you think.
Thank you so much for watching
and I'll see you back here really soon for more Bigger Bolder Baking.
