Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 450 g (15.9 ounces) self-raising flour
- 1 × 400 g (14.1 ounces) tin of light coconut milk
Fats:
- 30 g (1.1 ounces) unsalted butter
- olive oil for cooking/greasing
Instructions
- Combine coconut milk with a delicate sprinkle of sea salt in a mixing bowl, creating a smooth liquid base for the dough preparation.
- Gradually incorporate flour into the coconut milk mixture, kneading with your hands until a cohesive, soft dough forms. Note that you might not require the entire measured flour quantity.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly floured work surface and divide it into 8 uniform portions. Gently roll each portion into a perfect sphere.
- Using a rolling pin, flatten each dough ball into a circular shape approximately 10 centimeters (4 inches) in diameter. Tenderly press your fingertips across the surface to create delicate, rustic ripples.
- Position the prepared rounds on a lightly greased tray and drape a clean, slightly dampened kitchen towel over them to prevent drying.
- Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium temperature, adding a combination of butter (approximately 2 tablespoons or 30 grams) and a small amount of neutral cooking oil.
- Carefully place 2-3 dough rounds into the heated pan, cooking for 2-3 minutes on each side until they develop a golden-brown color and become delightfully puffy.
- Transfer the cooked rounds to a warming plate or clean kitchen towel, maintaining their temperature and softness while completing the remaining batches.
Notes
- Coconut milk adds rich, creamy moisture to transform ordinary flour into a supple, tender dough.
- Portioning helps create uniform flatbreads that cook evenly and look professionally prepared.
- Flour-dusted surfaces prevent sticky situations, making rolling out dough smooth and effortless.
- Gentle finger indentations create rustic, artisan-style texture that elevates the flatbread’s appearance.
- Careful batch cooking guarantees each round develops a perfect golden-brown exterior with delightful puffiness.
