Jamie Oliver Easy Flatbread Recipe

Jamie Oliver’s easy flatbread recipe is a no-yeast, no-rise bread made with self-raising flour (or plain flour with baking powder), yogurt, and a pinch of salt. It’s mixed into a dough, rolled out into rounds or ovals, and cooked on a hot dry pan until puffed and golden. It’s a soft, chewy, and rustic bread that takes just minutes to prepare and cook.

Ingredients
  

  • 350 g self-raising flour plus extra for dusting
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt

Method
 

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and baking powder if using.
  2. Add the yogurt and mix with a fork until the dough starts to come together.
  3. Tip the dough onto a floured surface and knead briefly (1–2 minutes) until smooth.
  4. Divide the dough into 6 to 8 equal-sized pieces.
  5. Roll out each piece into a rough oval or circle about ½ cm thick.
  6. Heat a dry non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat.
  7. Cook each flatbread for about 1–2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and puffed up.
  8. Optional: Brush with olive oil or butter and sprinkle with herbs or garlic as soon as they come off the pan.

Notes

My Tips to Make the Best Jamie Oliver Easy Flatbread Recipe
  • Don’t over-knead the dough; a quick mix is enough.
  • Let the dough rest for 5–10 minutes before rolling for a slightly softer texture.
  • Use a very hot pan to get those lovely golden spots.
  • Brush with melted garlic butter right after cooking for extra flavor.
