Flatbreads. They are literally my lifesaver. And these super easy 3 ingredient flatbreads probably use stuff you already have in the fridge and pantry!
They will mean you can always have a yummy side ready for your next curry or dip and that you never run out of yummy stuff for the kids lunchboxes.
If you’ve always thought making bread was too hard, you will love these, no rising, easy mixing and only 3 ingredients! But they also don’t go hard and have an awesome flavour.
Actually, once you have read this recipe, there’s no excuse for not making your own flatbreads! The rolling can be done by the kids and the ingredients are things you probably already have.
We eat them with mango chicken or other curries, I chop them up to pop in lunchboxes and they are a staple, so I thought it was about time I blogged them.
As an aside, I want to talk about Olive Oil. A lot of people think that your olive oil has to come from Italy, Spain or Greece to be any good.
But by thinking that, we are stopping ourselves from having some of the best olive oil we can find- Aussie olive oil!
It’s so good that it’s all I buy, for many reasons, less food miles, much fresher, better taste, and supporting Aussie farmers.
Sorry, that’s just me- bee in a bonnet about olive oil on a Monday!
Self-raising flour is just plain flour with baking powder added into it, so if you don’t have any, it’s two teaspoons per cup of plain flour.
You can also make these healthier with wholemeal instead of plain white flour, but it also makes them much denser, so they won’t have the light fluffy texture these ones have.
If you want them to be similar to store-bought naan bread, brush with melted butter and garlic before serving.
After making store in an airtight container in the fridge or freeze on a tray and transfer to a container when solid.
Defrost overnight in the fridge or just put them on the bench while you prepare the rest of lunch and they will be ready to use.

I followed the recipe exactly and used regular (not fat-free or Greek) yogurt and I used my electric stand up mixer. They turned out perfect, just amazing. The dough was very soft and easy to work with. I floured my work surface a tiny bit so that I could roll them out. This is a winner, which I’ll be making often. Thank you so much for sharing.

I made these tonight. They are delicious! But the dough is so sticky…it’s impossible to roll into balls. And it was so hard to mix. I followed the measurements exactly with the listed ingredients. Also…my dough did not bubble while cooking. I can’t imagine what I did wrong. Anyone else have the same problem? What was your solution? More flour?

I think the main problem is there are a lot of differences between youghurts. If your yoghurt is runnier, then it will need more flour. I use a thick greek yoghurt for them and have never had this problem. If they are bubbling whilst cooking, then maybe up your pan heat? It is the hot air trapped between the layers that forces them to puff and bubble.
