homemade flat bread

lebanese bread is nice, but not after a day of purchase when the moisture escapes, it becomes dry and gummy...
in order to enjoy some fresh flat bread, one has to make it on a sunny sunday!

here it is...
2 1/2 cups plain flour
2 tbsp gluten (to buff up the flour)
1 - 2 tsp salt
sprinkle of sugar
water to make dough

everything was put into my large ikea st st bowl and mixed, kneaded until elastic...
the round ball of dough was rested for an hour or two while i do chores around the home
dough was divided into 8 portions and rolled out into thin disc about 1mm thick...


large pan was heated up and discs were plonked on...


for some heating up...
when they puffed, it was time to turn them over...

nice charred marks...

the stack of flat bread kept warm by its residual heat... accompanied by salad and hearty ham and barley soup...







unleavened bread is so simple to make... and much more yummy when hot from the stove...

delish! a healthy meal for two under a fiver... (incl soup, salad, bread, cheese)... bargain!
