Flat Soda Bread

Recipe No: 120

I started to make this when doctors asked my husband to go on an yeast free diet temporarily. Getting bored with Chappati every night, I decided to go for a Maida/ All Purpose Flour based flat bread…and so came this recipe. This is very versatile in the sense that it can be either fried or cook on a griddle.

Ingredients                                              Makes 8

• All Purpose Flour/ Maida……2 Cups
• Baking Soda……………………...1/2 Teaspoons
• Salt…………………………………..1/2 Teaspoon
• Oil…………………………………….2 Tablespoon
• Yogurt…………………………..….2 Tablespoon
• Egg…………………………………..1
• Water……………………………....1/4 Cup
• Butter as needed

Method of Preparation

1. Combine All Purpose Flour, Salt and baking Soda well.
2. Beat together Egg, Yogurt and Oil really well.
3. Mix the Yogurt mixture and Flour mixture and make a soft dough using water. Start with ¼ Cups of water and use more as needed. Let the dough rest for 30 minutes.

To make on a griddle

1. Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces.
2. Roll each of them into 8 inch circles.
3. Place it on a hot griddle/thava and cook on both sides.
4. Once out of the griddle rub both sides of the bread with Butter.
5. Serve it hot with Curries that have lots of  gravy. 

 

To deep fry

1. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces
2. Roll each of the pieces into 4 inch circles.
3. Heat at least 2 inches of Oil in a deep pan.
4. Fry the rolled out dough till golden brown. Do turn it over half way through frying.
5. Serve it hot with Curries that have lots of  gravy.

Notes:

• The flat bread from the griddle tends to become dry when cold. So please serve it as hot as possible with lots of gravy.

 




Make it, enjoy the deliciousness and 
serve it to your family with love...
