Easy flatbread recipes
Pitta
With just a handful of storecupboard ingredients you can achieve superior fluffy pitta breads that make shop-bought versions pale by comparison.
Italian flatbread with pear, walnut and gorgonzola
The combination of gorgonzola, pears and walnuts is usually found in a salad but works brilliantly on this molten cheesy bread. It’s great hot but equally good for lunchboxes the day after.

These are simple, pillowy and perfect for serving in a meze spread. Cheddar and wild garlic make a punchy duo to flavour the dough.

These homemade naans take a little effort but the results make it worth it – the naans should be nicely golden and blistered on the outside, and soft and fluffy inside.

Homemade chapatis are deceptively easy to make at home with only a handful of ingredients – ideal for mopping up saucy curries or dhals.

Homemade flatbread with dukkah goat's cheese
This super simple flatbread recipe has only two ingredients. We love it smeared with dukkah-crusted goat's cheese, but it also makes a great side dish for curries, tagines and stews, and a good base for flatbread pizzas.

Cheese naan
It might not be strictly authentic, but we love cheese naan bread. This recipe takes it to the next level, using two different cheeses and adding a kick of chilli. It looks and tastes great but is easy to make, thanks to step-by-step help.

Use slow-roasted chilli tomatoes from a jar as a quick flavour explosion to top this easy flatbread. Ideal for a simple entertaining dish for your next gathering.

Lavash is a Middle Eastern flatbread made with flour, salt and water. Here, we've added sumac and sesame seeds for extra flavour, and served it with a dip of creamy baba ganoush.
