Bidda -Turkish Flatbreads

These flatbreads will take your fakeaway to the next level. They are super fluffy and soak up the kebab juices beautifully - the only challenge is going to be not eating them all in one go! These recipe makes 6 but they will last for up to 3 days in the fridge, just either warm them through in the toaster or oven. 

Makes 6 

Ingredients

  • 125ml lukewarm water 
  • 100ml lukewarm milk
  • 1 tsp caster sugar 
  • 1 sachet instant dry yeast (7g)
  • 500g strong white bread flour 
  • 1 tsp salt 
  • 100g thick set natural / Greek yoghurt
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Cooking Instructions 

  1. Put the water and milk in a jug, stir in the sugar to dissolve, then add the yeast. Leave, covered for 5-10 mins until it activates and bubbles. 
  2. Sift the flour into a large bowl, stir in the salt, add the yoghurt, drizzle in the olive oil then gently pour in the activated liquid/yeast mixture and knead for a around 10 mins until nice and smooth. Once kneaded and smooth, tuck the dough under to form a ball, smooth over with a tiny bit of olive oil or flour then place in an large bowl, cover the bowl with a tea towel and leave somewhere warm to prove for around an 1hr until doubled in size.
  3. Once the dough has risen, take it out of the bowl and then divide the dough into 6 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a smooth ball. Leave all of the the dough balls on the work surface, cover with a clean tea towel and leave to prove for another 30 mins. 
  4. Place a medium sized non-stick frying pan to heat up on a medium heat and start to roll out the flatbreads. 
  5. Using a rolling pin, roll out each of the balls into a circular disk, roughly 22cm in diameter. We tend to roll each one out whilst one is cooking in the pan.
  6. Once the pan is medium hot, place the rolled dough in the pan and cook for around 2 minutes until bubbles form on the top and the underside is ever so slightly golden, flip it over then cook the other side for another minute until bubbly and golden brown. Keep the cooked flatbreads covered under a tea towel to ensure they remain soft, warm and fluffy while you cook up the remaining dough.
  7. Brush with butter or oil and serve with a delicious kebab! Enjoy!
