How can kids help to make these yoghurt flatbreads?

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 a few simple steps your kids can 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 flatbreads with?

Flatbreads make a great side for a bowl of carrot soup or served with some hummus. We also like it with our chicken and chorizo skewers.

You can also use flatbreads as a base for a pizza. As you don’t need to leave these time to prove, you can make them much more speedily than our regular pizza base.

How do you store flatbreads?

You can keep flatbreads in the fridge for a few days. The easiest way to do this is to roll out the flatbreads, and before cooking them, 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 also freeze cooked flatbreads for up to three months.

What can I use if instead of self raising flour?

If you don’t have any self raising flour (which you should be able to get from any UK supermarket), you can swap it for an equal amount of plain/all-purpose flour and add a teaspoon of baking powder and a pinch of salt.

how to make easy yoghurt flatbreads

Add the ingredients to a mixing bowl

Get your kids to measure out the flour, yoghurt and olive oil and add them to a mixing bowl. The easiest way of getting the right amount of yoghurt is to use the ml setting on a set of digital scales if you have them. If you don’t just use a measuring jug.

Make the dough

Start by mixing everything together with a spoon until it comes together in a sticky 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 and roll them into balls, smoothing down the top surface. 

Get your little ones to roll the dough out into thin circles, making them as thing as you can.

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.

Serve and enjoy.
