How can kids help to make flatbread?
This really is one of the easiest things you can make with kids. Even very young children and toddlers can join in with this recipe. There are lots of steps to help with, from mixing and measuring to kneading and rolling. And best of all it’s really quick, so even kids with short attention spans should be able to see this recipe through.
What can you serve flatbread with?
Flatbread makes a great side for a bowl of carrot soup or served with some hummus. We also like it with our chicken and chorizo skewers.
How do you serve flatbread?
You can keep flatbread in the fridge for a few days. The easiest way to do this is to roll out the flatbreads, and stack them with a sheet of baking paper in between to stop them sticking. Cover them and pop them in the fridge. You can cook them directly from the fridge.
You can freeze cooked flatbreads for up to three months.

how to make 3 ingredient flatbrreads
Measure the dry ingredients
Get your little chefs to measure the flour and salt and add them to a small bowl.
Add the wet ingredients
Weigh the butter and milk (we always weigh liquids using the ml setting on our scales as it’s more accurate) and put them in a bowl together.
Pop them in the microwave until the butter has melted and the milk has warmed up a little.
Add to the flour and give it a mix until it comes together.
Make the dough
Sprinkle a little flour down on the work surface and knead the dough for a minute or two. It doesn’t need too much kneading. If the dough is too wet, add a little extra flour.
Divide the dough into 4 equal sized pieces. Get your little ones to roll the dough out into thin (less than 0.5mm thick) circles.
Cook the flatbreads
Heat a little oil in a frying pan, and cook the flat breads, one at a time, for a few minutes on either side. They should bubble up a little as they cook. They’re ready, when they’ve turned golden, crisped up a little and have some dark spots.
Keep the flat breads warm under a clean towel while you cook the remaining breads.
