Caraway flatbread ... and some chilli ;)

Sorry about the quality of the picture!! This flatbread is really easy to make and you can change the flavours really easily by taking out the caraway and adding other spices, garlic, onion, or even a sprinkle of cheese into the mix. Much nicer than store-bought flatbread and really tasty!

Caraway Flatbread
Caraway flat bread
250g plain flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp caraway seeds pulvarised with the salt
1 1/2 tablespoons of olive oil in 1/2 cup warm water

Method
Put the flour, salt, and caraway into a bowl. Pour in the water and mix until combined into a dough. Knead lightly till it is smooth. Cover the bowl and leave for about 30 minutes.

Divide dough into 10 pieces,  shape each into a ball, and then roll out thinly. Use a bit of flour on the board and dusted on top of each ball so it doesn't stick to the rolling pin. 

Heat a heavy based pan or skillet on a medium heat. Dry fry each side of the bread until golden (about 2-3 minutes each side). I find they are still warm if I make them quickly, but if you work a bit slower or want to make a double batch it's a good idea to have a warm oven to pop them into to keep warm.

Serve with the meal of your choice - in this case Chilli Beans and salad :)
