Spelt Flatbread

This will make about 8 flatbreads. Put anything you like on them.

Ingredients

  • Roughly 270g spelt flour
  • Roughly 180ml nearly boiling water
  • Half a teaspoon of finely ground sea salt
  • Half a teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda
  • A tablespoon of olive oil

Method

Make the dough

  • Mix the dry ingredients together
  • Add the water and the oil
  • Mix together into a shaggy mixture
  • Knead for about half a minute. Adjust consistency with extra flour if it's too sticky and extra water or oil if it's too try
  • Cover with a tea towel

Make the flatbreads

  • Take a large flat frying pan (I use a big Le Creuset one) and put it on a med/high heat
  • Take a large sheet of grease-proof paper as a non-stick surface
  • Pull off a blog of dough about as big as a ping pong ball, and squish it on the paper
  • With a lightly floured rolling pin, roll the dough into a very thing vaguely circular shape
  • Coat the upper site with a very thin amount of oil (I used a pastry brush)
  • Pick up the circle and place it oil-side down on the pan
  • Cook for 30 secs on each side
  • Set to one side
