Nigella Seed Flatbread

Meals

26 May

This is my easy peasy nigella seed flatbread. I first made it to go alongside fish and a citrusy strained yogurt dip (which it turns out is an excellent trio), and it’s become a go to ever since. The dough comes together in minutes with just full fat greek yogurt, flour, and a few pantry bits.

It’s also perfect if you’ve picked up a 500g tub of full-fat Greek yogurt cause half goes into this dough, and the other half is just the right amount for the yogurt dip recipe (and the two go brilliantly together). These are great for scooping up dips, wrapping around grilled meats or veg, or just tearing apart and eating warm straight from the pan.

This recipe make roughly 4 flatbreads, super versatile for wraps or tearing and sharing. Feel free to swap out the nigella seeds for whatever you have, I think the nigella seeds are perfect but you can easily use chilli flakes, chopped herbs, spices, minced garlic, let your freak flag fly.

Ingredients:

250 g full fat greek yogurt
200 g Self Raising flour
1 tbsp olive oil
Pinch of salt
1 tbsp nigella seeds

Directions:

Add all ingredients in a bowl and mix with your hands or in a stand mixture until combined. Dump onto a flour work surface, shape and knead for 1 minute until it forms a loose ball.
Return dough to bowl, cover with a cloth or cling film and leave out to rest for at least 30 min if you want to make it right away or store in the fridge overnight if you want to make it the next day.
When ready to cook, heat a pan on medium-high and add a glug of olive oil - the pan should be very hot. Place your ball of dough on a floured work surface and divide into 4 equal parts. With your hands, flatten and gently stretch then roll out with a rolling pin until the dough is slightly larger than your hand.
Carefully place in the pan and cover with a lid. Cook for 1-2 min, flipping it slightly to check the colour, it should have puffed up and crisped on the bottom and be a dark brown colour, flip it and do the same for the other side. Repeat the process for each flat bread. If you’re not ready to eat them right away you can stack and wrap them in a tea towel.
