Super quick and easy no yeast flat bread. You can easily add your own fresh spices & herbs to put your own special touch on this basic no yeast flat bread recipe.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 cup cold water
  • 3 tablespoons shortening (optional)
  • 1 - 1 1/4 teaspoon salt (I use 1 tsp. if adding in cheese)

Directions

Step 1
Put all dry ingredients in the bowl and mix together. *If adding cheese or other fresh/dry ingredients, add it here*
Step 2
Add shortening and cut into dry ingredients. You should get pea sized or smaller bits of shortening in the mix.
Step 3
Add cold water and mix until a dough forms. If the dough is still too sticky, add a bit more flour till the dough pulls away from the bowl. Knead for 3-5 minutes.
Step 4
Break dough into 16 equal balls. On a lightly floured surface, roll out into thin circles. I make mines approximately 5-6 inches wide. The thinner you make these the better.
Step 5
Place a pan on medium heat and add a thin coat of butter or olive oil. Place bread circles in pan and cook until browned on each side.
