FLATBREAD

This is an easy, soft flatbread recipe that’s made without yeast requiring just a minute or two of kneading.

I used this when camping with the Scouts or making twists that were so easy. Normally twist are made with just flour and water but this makes them much nicer.

You’ll love how soft and pliable this flat bread is, making it perfect to use as wraps for Kofte, or even as naan to dunk into your favorite curry. The possibilities are endless!
