Ingredients

250g self raising flour
250g natural yoghurt
1 tbs extra virgin olive oil
1 tbs sea salt
Ghee / salted butter / oil, to cook

Method

In a large bowl combine all ingredients, mixing well to come together to form a rough dough. Remove from bowl and knead for 5 minutes on a floured surface.
Shape dough into a ball and cover loosely with a damp towel. Rest for 30 minutes.
Divide dough into thirds, and cut each third in half. You should now have 6 pieces. Working one dough ball at a time, using a rolling pin (or a bottle of wine) roll out to 2–3mm thickness - these don't need to be pretty and they don't need to be a perfect shape, think of a little mini naan bread.
Place pan (you could use frying pan, skillet, griddle pan or even your barbecue) over high heat. Working in batches, brush on a little of your ghee / butter / oil onto pan and cook 1–2 minutes each side or until golden and beginning to puff up.
As you cook your breads wrap them in a tea towel to keep warm while you cook remaining dough.
