The two-flour Turkish flatbread: strong white and wholemeal kneaded with yeast, olive oil and a touch of sugar, rested, then slapped onto a screaming griddle until it puffs and chars in patches. Tear into them warm — for dips, for kebabs, for the irreplaceable pleasure of bread minutes old. The freezer-friendly dough is your weeknight secret.

Ingredients

  • 250g Strong Wholemeal Flour
  • 250g Strong white bread flour
  • 15g Yeast
  • 1 tsp Sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil

Instructions

  1. Tip the flours into a food processor. Add the yeast, sugar and 1tsp salt, then mix well. Pour in 350ml warm water and the oil, then process to a soft dough. Mix for 1 min, then leave until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  2. Pulse the dough a couple of times just to knock out the air, then tip onto a floured surface. Cut the dough in half and roll out one half to a rectangle about 20 x 40cm. Trim the edges using a large sharp knife, then cut into eight 10cm squares. Line a large tray or two baking sheets with non-stick paper and arrange the bread rectangles over the tray in one layer. Repeat with the other half of the dough. Leave in a warm place for about 30 mins until the dough is just starting to rise.
  3. Place bread directly onto the BBQ racks and cook for a couple of mins until they puff up, then flip over and cook on the other side. Tip into a basket and serve with the dips.
