It can be enjoyed at breakfast, lunch, dinner and as a delicious snack with these homemade flatbreads. Next time you're tempted to reach for the shop-bought pitta bread, give these flatbreads a go and I promise you won't be disappointed.
Servings: 4 Time: 40 minutes
Ingredients
| Tzatziki: 3 inch cucumber, grated and squeezed to removed excess moisture 2 tbsp fresh mint leaves, finely chopped 1 garlic clove, crushed 200g greek yoghurt (bioactive if possible) 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil 1 tbsp lemon juice black pepper |
Flatbreads: 100g oats, ground into a flour 125g greek yoghurt 2 tsp dried oregano 1/2 tsp baking powder 1 tsp salt & pepper |
Method
- To make the tzatziki, simply combine the grated cucumber, mint, garlic, yoghurt, olive oil, and lemon juice in a bowl. Finish with a generous grind of black pepper.
- For the flatbreads, mix the oats in a food processor or high-speed blender to form a flour. Add this to a mixing bowl along with the yoghurt, oregano, baking powder and salt and pepper.
- Combine everything well using your hands to form a ‘dough’ ball. Wrap this in cling film and chill in the fridge for at least half an hour.
- Sprinkle a little oat flour on a clean surface. Split the dough into four equal parts and roll out each to form flatbread about 0.5cm thick.
- Heat a little olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan and fry each flatbread for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden but not burnt.
- Enjoy flatbreads as a quick snack dipped into fresh tzatziki or as a tasty accompaniment to chicken souvlaki or moussaka.
