I love fresh homemade bread.And thoughI bake bread with yeast more frequently nowadays, I still find it easier and a general preference to make bread without yeast.
Maximum taste, most tasty outcome with minimum effort – but without compromising on the end result. That’s my ultimate goal and the ethos that underpins every recipe I share here on RecipeTin Eats.
Soft And Fluffy Flatbread (no Yeast)
Over the years, I have tried a lot of flatbread recipes. Flatbreads from many different cuisines, from blogs and cooking sites, by home cooks, from reality cooking shows (yes, Master Chef and My Kitchen Rules!), serious chefs and celebrity chefs.
But I always found they were too doughy (e.g. the ones that only use yoghurt as the wet ingredient) or too crisp to use as a wrap
They were moistened with lashings of butter. Absolutely delicious, mind you. But not what I was after.So this recipe is my idea of a perfect flatbread recipe.
Easiest Soft Flatbread Recipe
This flatbread recipe is made with no yeast. It is very easy to make, requiring just a minute or two of kneading.
And here I have used it as “naan” as a side for Butter Chicken. When I make it to be like “naan”, I cook it on a slightly higher heat to get larger and more brown bits on it – just like real naan! The crust gets slightly crispier so it’s not as suited to use as a wrap, like in the above photo. (PS If you’ve got the time to make proper naan, try my Naan recipe. It’s just like the real deal!)
If you’ve never tried homemade bread before, this flatbread recipe is a great oneto start with because it really is that easy. The worst that can happen with this flatbread recipe is that the heat is too high when you cook it so the exterior ends up a bit too crunchy and cracks when you roll it. If that happens, just spray it with olive oil or brush lightly with oil or butter and it will moisten the surface.
Gluten Free Pita Bread
Recipe video above. The dough for this recipe is ridiculously easy to make with only a minute or two of kneading. The bread is soft and pliable so it’s perfect for using as a wrap, stuffed with whatever takes your fancy. It’s also a great make ahead recipe – the dough keeps for around 3 days. See NOTES for substitutions, including using GLUTEN FREE flour. 30 minute resting time. Recipe VIDEO below.
1. Higher heat and the thinner the dough = crispier crust, though still pliable inside, the thin crispy crust on the outside might crack when you roll it. This is how I make naan. The larger darker brown spots on the bread (see image in post) make it look like authentic naan, just like what you get at Indian restaurants! (If you got the time, here’s my proper naan recipemade with yeast. It’s just like you get at Indian restaurants – super soft and fluffy!)
2. STORING: Dough keeps in the refrigerator for around 3 days. Tip: Roll out the rounds, ready to cook. Just make sure you use baking paper or cling wrap to keep the pieces separated, flour will not suffice.

3. Wholemeal flour – Works great with WHOLE WHEAT flour, does not work with almond flour. See note 4 for Gluten Free.
4. Dairy free / vegan substitutions: A reader tried the original recipe then reported back that it also worked just as great substituting the butter with olive oil and almond milk for the dairy milk to make it a vegan / dairy free version. Brilliant! Another reader has also made this with coconut oil and reported it works great.
5. Gluten free option – This works pretty well with Gluten Free flour. You may need a bit of extra flour to roll it out – just add more as required. The texture is a bit different – a bit chewy, and you may not be able to roll them out into neat rounds like pictured.

Easy Homemade Pita Bread
Pita bread comes from the word “pita” which means “pastry” or “cake” in Greek. It is an authentic Mediterranean and Middle Eastern bread made from wheat flour that is leavened with yeast.
Unlike flatbread, a leavening agent is used in pita bread such as yeast, eggs, or baking powder which helps the bread puff up and create a pocket of air on the inside. This pocket can then be cut into and filled with gyro meat, lamb, chicken, or fresh cucumber, tomatoes, and onions. It’s the Middle East’s version of an American sandwich or Mexican taco.
Pita bread is also found served as an appetizer with souvlaki, hummus, or tzatziki sauce and can be cut into bite-sized chips.
Easy Gluten Free Flatbread, No Yeast Recipe
The ingredients needed for this pita bread recipe are easy-to-find at your local grocery store. There are also a few simple substitutions you can make depending on your dietary preferences.
Flour – While all purpose flour is the most traditional type to use, a gluten-free 1-to-1 flour blend was used and tested in this recipe.
Egg – One large room temperature egg acts as one of the leavening agents in this recipe and gives the bread a wonderfully rich and buttery flavor.

Oil – A mildly flavored oil, such as avocado oil, is recommended, but olive oil can also be used. If using olive oil make sure you pick one that is lighter peppery olive flavor for the best-tasting pita bread.
Baking Powder – It’s very important that you use baking powder and not baking soda. Baking powder has an acidic component in it that is crucial to make sure the bread rises properly when cooked.
The best and easiest tool to use when making homemade breads is a stand mixer. Not only does it mix at a uniform speed, but you can also give your arm a break.

If you don’t happen to have a stand mixer a regular hand-held mixer will work as well as a bowl with a spatula.
At this point you can either cover it in a slightly dampened towel and store in the refrigerator for 2-3 days before cooking. Or, you can proceed to roll the dough into balls and bake or cook it in a skillet.
After doing quite a few test batches with this recipe, it’s very important that you form and shape the dough as close to the size recommended as possible.

If the dough is too thin, you will not get those wonderful air bubbles within the bread. If the dough is too thick, you’ll end up with a doughy middle instead of a perfectly fluffy and cooked-through bread.
Cook’s Tip: You want to make sure you do not incorporate TOO much additional flour into your pita bread dough. It’s best to only use as much flour as needed to prevent the dough from sticking to your board or rolling pin, but not any more.
Cooking pita bread in a skillet is the best and most authentic way to do it. You’ll get those gorgeous brown and slightly burnt spots that are typically found on pita bread at restaurants. These are hard to get when baking them in the oven.
