Easy Soft Flatbread (No Yeast)

Step 1

Combine butter and milk and heat until butter is just melted - on stove or in microwave.

Step 2

Combine 2 cups flour, salt, butter and milk.

Step 3

Sprinkle work surface with flour then knead for a few minutes until it is smooth - it doesn't need much kneading. Add extra flour if the dough is too sticky.

Step 4

Wrap with cling wrap and rest at room temperature for 30 minutes or so.

Step 5

Dust bench top with flour, cut dough into 4 pieces, roll into balls, then roll out into about 1/8" / 0.3cm thick rounds.

Step 6

Heat 1/2 tbsp olive oil in a non stick pan over medium heat - or lower if you have a heavy based skillet. (Note 1)

Step 7

Place one flatbread in the pan, cook for around 1- 1 1/2 minutes - it should bubble up (see photo in post)- then flip and cook the other side, pressing down if it puffs up. There should be a smallish golden brown spots on both sides.

Step 8

Stack the cooked bread and keep wrapped with a tea towel - the moisture helps soften the surface, making them even more pliable.

Step 9

Continue to cook with remaining pieces.

Step 10

Optional: Brush or spray bread with olive oil or melted butter, for a more luxurious finish. Or even with melted butter mixed with minced garlic for a garlic butter version!
