SIMPLE 2 INGREDIENT FLAT BREADS WITH GARLIC BUTTER This #FibreFebruary, I’ve teamed up with @fab_flour for their #NourishingTheNation campaign to help spread the word about all of the fantastic nutritional benefits of flour. (AD) The aim of the Fibre February campaign is to celebrate fibre and encourage people to increase their fibre intake. This is part of a wider Nourishing The Nation campaign, which aims to reverse any negative connotations of eating flour-based products, to challenge the perception that flour is over-processed and to celebrate its nutritional benefits as a natural product. Did you know flour is an excellent source of fibre and an easy way to hit the recommended daily fibre intake of 30g. Dietary fibre has many nutritional benefits, including being incredibly important for digestive health, helping to produce good bacteria for your gut and helping to prevent coronary heart disease, diabetes and certain cancers! Makes 4 flatbreads INGREDIENTS 200g Self-raising flour or use wholemeal self-raising flour for even more fibre! 200g Greek yogurt 0% fat Olive oil, for cooking 40g Unsalted butter 1 tsp Garlic powder Handful of chopped fresh parsley METHOD 1. Season the flour with a pinch of salt, make a well in the middle, add the Greek yogurt and begin to stir together. Once combined, knead with your hands on a lightly floured surface until smooth. 2. Divide into 4 even balls and roll into a disc shape until 1/2 cm thick. 3. Place a frying pan on a high heat, once hot, lightly brush with some olive oil. Place the first flatbread into the pan and cook for 2 minutes on each side. Repeat with the remaining dough. 4. Once all the flat breads are cooked, melt the butter in small increments in the microwave, then stir through the garlic powder, fresh parsley and a pinch of salt. 5. Brush each flatbread with the melted butter and serve! Did you know that even white self-raising flour contains lots of fibre? This means that these tasty flatbreads each contain 2g fibre and 7g protein. Make sure you follow @fab_flour for more fibre-filled recipes and nutritional flour facts!
