Simple flat breads with yoghurt, mint & sumac

Ingredients

• 200g plain flour
• 120ml warm water
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp salt
• 200ml natural yoghurt
• 1 tbsp sumac
• Plenty of fresh mint, finely chopped

Method

Tip the flour, water, oil and salt into a large bowl and mix together, initially with a spoon and then with your hands.

Work the dough on a floured surface for about 3-4 mins until silky smooth and then set it aside. Cover with cling film if you are preparing a few hours ahead.

Now the choice is yours: heat up a heavy frying pan or fire up the barbie. Once you’re almost ready to cook and eat, divide the dough into six equal balls and roll out on a floured surface until just a couple of mm thick. Layer up between tea towels if you’re transporting into the garden.

Cook for about 1 min on each side, until the dough begins to bubble and brown. Serve straight away or wrap in a tea towel for a few mins to keep the bread soft.

Mix the yoghurt, mint and sumac together, and serve with the bread.
