Flat Breads with Roasted Red Pepper Hummus


Fluffy and bubbly with light, crispy edges – these homemade flatbreads are a wonderful weapon in your mid-week meal mastery and make a great base for all sorts of toppings. These delicious flat breads work brilliantly with our roasted red pepper hummus and can be served open or rolled up with salad and your choice of protein.

The key is to knead well for six minutes, using the heel of your palm to extend the dough and pull it back – building a strong gluten network that helps to achieve a light, fluffy texture. And by adding our Cold Pressed Rapeseed Oil to the dough, we eliminate the need for oil in the pan – creating a lighter flatbread that really is a joy to cook and eat.

Ingredients

● 200g plain white flour
● 100ml water
● 25ml Mellow Yellow Cold Pressed Rapeseed Oil
● Large pinch of salt from Cornish Sea Salt
● Your choice of toppings – we used our Roasted Red Pepper Hummus with rocket, feta, sun dried tomatoes, red onion and seeds


Method

1) Add the flour, salt and water to a bowl, drizzle in the cold pressed rapeseed oil and stir to combine. Use your hands to pull the mixture into a ball, then place onto a floured work surface.
2) Using the heel of your palms, push and pull the dough away and back towards you for around 6 minutes, using a strong and active knead to build the gluten. Wrap the dough in a clean tea towel and place in the fridge for 30 minutes. Prepare the toppings.
3) Remove the dough from the fridge, section into four pieces and use your hands to roll each one into a ball.
4) Use a floured rolling pin to roll out the dough, turning and flipping as you go and using your hands to coax it out into a thin, round flatbread.
5) In a hot dry pan, dry fry each flatbread until it starts to puff up and bubbles form on the surface. Flip it and fry on the other side, then move to a warm plate whilst you fry the others.
6) Add the flatbreads to a plate and top with your preferred toppings.
