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.
