A soft, mellow alternative to regular bread. And it only requires 2-3 ingredients. Roll it out thin enough and you can even turn it into a wrap to fill with vegetables, beans and whatnot. It's great for tearing, sharing and dipping into hot & spicy soups. Try it with bean chilli too.
Ingredients
(serves 4)
- 2 ripe plantains
- 2-3 cups wholegrain flour
- 1 tsp chilli powder (optional)
Peel and cut the plantains into small chunks. Place in a large mixing bowl and add the chilli powder. Add the flour slowly, mixing as you go along, until you have a firm dough.
Wrap the dough in some cling film and refrigerate for 20 mins.
Take the dough out of the fridge and divide it into 4-6 portions. Roll each portion out on a lightly floured surface to form a round flatbread shape.
Cook each piece in a non-stick frying pan on medium heat for 5 minutes on each side (or until it has browned nicely)
Hmm. Interesting. Is this really possible?

ReplyDeleteYay so happy to hear that!!!
DeleteJust made the flatbread. It came out tasty like sweet bread almost. I added a few drops of stevia. You can also replace plaintains with sweet potatoes and make a nice variation.
