No fuss flatbread

This bread is absolutely gorgeous, it's made with just four ingredients and lots of kneading (easy if you have a dough attachment on your mixer).  Flatbreads are usually very versatile. Add some chicken or tuna with salad to it and make it a wrap, make it into quesadillas, enjoy with curries like butter chicken or as a starter with infused garlic oil brushed over it. Anyhow it’s always a quick fix and the bread can be made ahead and frozen. Most recipes I have found overtime either has yeast or yoghurt or milk or all of them combined.

Until a friend Ilyes, whipped up this wonderful flatbread for one of our barbeque hangouts.  It was quick considering there was no yeast and really good. I was privileged to learn his mum’s recipe and I am here to share with you wonderful people today.
