FLAT BREADS

This is an easy recipe using self-raising flour can be baked in a pre-heated oven or wrap loosely in aluminium foil that has been lightly greased and cook over the coals for about 30 minutes.  I found  at Woollies chargrilled artichokes in a lemon and chilli dressing and adding this to the flat bread recipe with the olives makes a delicious variation.  You can try your own combinations.  Here is the basic recipe.

4 x 250ml (4 cups) self-raising flour, sifted
10ml (2 tsps.) salt
125g butter or margarine
2 extra-large eggs, beaten
250ml (1 cup) milk

1. Sift dry ingredients into mixing bowl.  Rub in butter, mix in eggs and milk to form a soft dough.

Cheese Bread:
Use half the quantity basic dough
 250ml (1 cup) grated cheddar cheese
15ml (1 tbs) dried mixed herbs
5ml (1 tsp) chopped parsley

1 Press the dough into a rectangle shape 5mm thick
2 Sprinkle half the dough with cheese and herbs
3 Brush the other half of dough with egg, fold and close edges.
4 Press bread into quarters with fingertips
5 Bake in a preheated oven at 200 degrees Celsius for 20 minutes or see above to cook over coals.

Spring Onion and Olive Bread

This is where I add the chopped artichokes about 5 pieces.

Use half the quantity basic dough
5 chopped spring onions
3 sliced garlic cloves
5 halved black olives

Now follow the same method as for the cheese bread.
