Nothing sates the soul like carbohydrate. The ultimate comfort food, these breads are like pillows of joy, fluffy, crispy, and light.

Ingredients

Flatbreads

• 250g Bread flour (at least 11% Protein)
• ½ tsp Instant Yeast
• ½ tsp Fine Salt
• 1tbsp Olive Oil
• 2tbsp Spring Onion, finely sliced.

Chilli Chive Dipping Sauce

• 2 Green Chillies finely chopped.
• 1tbsp Shoyu Soy sauce
• 1tbsp Rice Vinegar
• 1tbsp Sesame Oil
• 1tbsp Groundnut Oil
• 1tsp Golden Caster Sugar
• 1tbsp Chives, finely sliced.
• 1 Clove garlic, minced.

Instructions

1. Combine all the dipping sauce ingredients in a small bowl and set aside at room temperature for the flavours to develop.
2. In a bowl, whisk the flour, yeast, and salt until homogenous. Combine 150ml tepid water with the oil and mix this in to form a shaggy dough. Add in the spring onion.
3. Tip the dough onto a work surface and knead for 12-15 minutes or until stretchy and elastic.
4. Lightly oil a bowl and form the dough into a ball, cover with a damp tea towel and set aside until doubled in size, the time will depend on the ambient temperature.
5. Once risen, knock back the dough and weigh it. Divide it into two and shape each into a ball. Allow to rest, lightly covered for 30 minutes.
6. Heat a BBQ or pizza oven to high. Roll the flatbreads into thin discs with a rolling pin. If using a BBQ, sit a cast iron skillet on the grill to heat.
7. Cook the flatbreads either in the skillet or pizza oven until risen and pillowy, just a few minutes. Serve hot with the dipping sauce on the side.
