Takes 20 minutes
Serves 4
Ingredients
- 200 g flour of choice approx. 1⅔ cups
- 150 ml natural soy yoghurt approx. ⅔ cup
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 3 tbsp sesame seeds
- Extra flour for dusting
- Oil for cooking – approx. 1 tbsp per flatbread
Instructions
- Prepare the dough:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the soy yoghurt and mix until a uniform dough forms. Knead for about 5 minutes, until the dough becomes soft and pliable.
- Shape the flatbreads:
- Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces. Lightly flour a surface and roll each piece into a thin, round flatbread.
- Cook the flatbreads:
- Heat a large non-stick pan over high heat, then reduce to medium. Sprinkle some sesame seeds directly into the pan. Add 1 tablespoon of oil and place one flatbread on top. Cook for 1–2 minutes, until golden spots appear and air pockets form. Flip and cook the other side until done. Repeat with the remaining dough, adding fresh sesame seeds and oil for each flatbread.
- Best served warm.
