Ingredients
- 200g plain flour (or whole wheat flour)
- 2 level tsp Baking Powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1tsp pepper (grounded)
- 1tsp paprika
- 1-2 tsp Mixed herbs
- 1 fresh egg
- 50ml warm water
- 1 lime
Method
- STEP 1If using a food processor, place all dry ingredients into the processor bowl. In a separate bowl loosen up the egg using a fork.
- STEP 2Place the egg into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Pulse until the mixture becomes like breadcrumbs, and all ingredients are coated with the egg
- STEP 3On a low setting, slowly pour the warm water into the mix. Until a soft ball of dough forms.
- STEP 4If not using a processor, place all dry ingredients into a large mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, loosen up the egg. Then make a well in the middle of the flour, and pour the egg into it. Slowly mix the egg into the dry ingredients.
- STEP 5Gradually add the warm water into the mixture, until the mixture starts to come together into a soft dough. (proceed to step 5).
- STEP 6Tip the dough out onto a slightly floured surface, and knead for about 5 minutes (or 10-15 minutes if doing it manually- Until the dough is soft and pillowy). Allow the dough to prove for 10-15 minutes.
- STEP 7After proving, roll the dough into a sausage shape and divide it into 8 small round portions.
- STEP 8Roll out each portion thinly, about the same width as a pound coin.
- STEP 9Heat a flat pan, with a little oil to prevent sticking. When the pan is hot place the rolled out portion into the middle.
- STEP 10Cook each side 3-4 minutes. The flat bread will "puff up".
- STEP 11To serve, remove the excess oil from the bread. Open the bread up and fill with your favorite fillings. Squeeze over the lime juice and enjoy. :)
