What You’ll Need
- Strong white bread flour: 500g, gives you that lovely texture, you know?
- Salt: 10g, just for flavor, but it makes all the difference.
- Instant yeast: 7g, makes everything rise so nicely.
- Water: 300ml, lukewarm, helps the yeast do its thing.
- Olive oil: 1 tbsp, for a bit of richness in the dough.
- Eggs: 4 large, boiled to perfection, of course.
- Mango chutney: 200g, sweet and spicy goodness right here!
- Fresh coriander: a handful, optional but totally makes it fancy.
Easy How-To
Let’s Kick Off With the Dough
Alright, so first things first, we need to prep the dough. Grab a bowl and toss in about 250g of that strong white bread flour along with a pinch of salt. Make a little well in the center, and add in 150ml of warm water—like, it should feel cozy to the touch, you know? Then sprinkle in the yeast, mix it up until it becomes this soft, lovely dough… it’s going to be a bit sticky, but that’s okay!
Kneading Time
Now, transfer that dough to a floured surface and get your hands in there! Knead it for about 10 minutes, and, oh boy, it’s going to be a workout for your arms! But trust me, you want it to be smooth and elastic, it’s worth it. Then pop it into a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a cloth, and let it… rise for about an hour, or until it doubles in size—like magic!
Flatbreads Come to Life
When that dough is fluffy and ready, punch it down—it’s super satisfying! Divide everything into four equal pieces and roll each piece into a flat round shape. I like to imagine I’m creating little pizza discs, it’s just more fun that way!
Cook ‘Em Up
Heat up a dry frying pan over medium-high heat. Once it’s hot, toss in each flatbread one at a time—cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until they’re all golden brown and puffed up. You might even hear some lovely sizzling… that’s a good sound!
Eggs & Assembly
Now, let’s get those eggs going. Boil them to however you like them—soft or hard… totally your call. Once they’re cooked, peel and slice those beauties in half. Then, take your cooked flatbreads, place them on some plates, and top each one with those halved eggs and a generous dollop of mango chutney. You’re gonna want to drizzle that chutney over it really well because… it just tastes so good!
Good to Know
- If you want to get a little creative, try adding some grilled veggies or different spreads instead of eggs.
- Leftover flatbreads? Store them in an airtight container and they’ll be fine for about 2 days.
Serving Ideas
- These flatbreads are fantastic with a crisp side salad or as part of a larger brunch spread… trust me, it’s so inviting!
Top Tricks
- Don’t waste time with a cold pan; make sure it’s preheated to get that perfect golden brown crust.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use whole wheat flour for the flatbreads?
Absolutely, whole wheat flour works—just keep in mind they might turn out a bit denser, but that’s okay; some people love that hearty texture!
What can I substitute for mango in the chutney?
You could totally switch mango with peach or even pineapple for a twist, it really opens up flavors a bit, and it’s super fun to experiment!
How long will the flatbreads stay fresh?
They should hang out nicely in an airtight container for a couple of days at room temp, but if you’re looking to keep them longer, toss them in the freezer.
