So shout out to my housemates for giving me a way to make bread with just 2 (kinda 3) CHEAP ingredients, they make it with normal flour but thought I may as well give it a go, and wasn't disappointed! The recipes exact measurements are adapted from here.
1 flat bread is about 12p, making it 48p a batch, rather than £2.00 for a shop bought pack of 4 gluten free pitta breads, so I know which I would choose!
(Based on 1kg Doves farm gluten free self raising flour at £1.70 - 1 bag would make 16 flatbreads, 1 bottle of frylight at £2.20 is meant to have 950 sprays)
I make a batch of 4, freeze the ones that aren't needed and eat 1 warm with hummus, but you could also make them bigger as pizza bases :)
To make 4 flat breads:
250g gluten free self raising flour
About 3/4 cup water, but judge it as you go
Oil for frying, I use frylight sunflower oil to save the calories!
Feel free to add salt or pepper
Simple as...
- Mix the flour and water, then knead with your hands in the bowl. Add a little more water if too dry, flour if too wet - it needs to be able to form into a ball for you to make into flat breads without sticking to the pan and without falling apart.
- Split the mixture into 4, or however big you want the breads to be.
- Oil a frying pan, about 2 or 3 sprays of the oil will do, or a drizzle from a bottle, and heat. You don't need oil really, which is why i have said this only uses 2 ingredients, but if your dough is really wet you definitely do need oil to stop it sticking.
- Flatten 1 of the 4 lumps of dough to your desired thickness (I make them about 1cm thick) either by using your hands, against a floured work surface, or I do it by pressing into the frying pan, take care not to burn your fingers!
- They take around 2 minutes on each side, but judge by looking at it and for your taste.
- Repeat for the others.
And there you go, hope you enjoy!
