Quick to make and suitable for home freezing, this no yeast flatbread recipe is so simple but the flatbreads it makes taste much better than any you can buy in the supermarket. Great substitute for wraps, tortillas or naan bread *From The Hungry Hungry Husband and RecipeTin Eats*

Ingredients
185mlmilk
50gbutterI use salted butter
300gplain flourplus a little extra for dusting
Instructions
Make the dough:
Heat the milk and butter in the microwave for 1–1 ½ minutes, stirring every 30 seconds until just melted, or on the hob on a low heat
Once melted, add the milk & butter to the flour and use a either a dough scraper or a knife to "cut" the liquid through the flour until combined
Use your hands to bring the dough together in a rough ball then tip it out onto a clean, floured surface
Knead for a few minutes until it's smooth and pliable then wrap the dough ball in cling film and leave to rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes
Make the flatbreads:
Dust a clean surface and your rolling pin with lots of flour and cut the dough into 6 pieces
Roll out each piece until it's a rough circle about 8–9 inches in diameter
Cook the flatbreads:
Heat a drizzle of oil in a non-stick frying pan, skillet or tawa pan over a high heat
Place one flatbread in the pan and cook for about 30 seconds before flipping it over and cooking the other side for another 30 seconds
The flatbreads should puff up (just press down on these spots when they do) and blacken in places – if they don't, flip them back over and cook each side for another 30 seconds until they do
When done, transfer to a wire rack until cool
Storing and reheating:
After the flatbreads have cooled down, wrap each one in greaseproof paper or cling film to keep them separate, and then place them in a freezer bag and into the freezer
When you want to use one, take the flatbread out of the freezer either the night before and keep in the fridge, or about half an hour before you need it
Reheating the flatbread in the microwave for just 30 seconds will make it soft & pliable again
Notes
*tip*uncooked dough can be wrapped in cling film and stored in the fridge for around 3 days
