  • Preparation: 25 min
  • Cooking: 10 min
  • Makes: 1 serving (129 g)
  • Difficulty: Medium
  • Diets: Vegan, Dairy-free
  • Contains: gluten

Ingredients

  • 55 g Flour, all-purpose
  • 30 g Water
  • 0.6 g Salt
  • 8 g Vegetable oil
  • 30 g Chives, fresh
  • 5 g Garlic, raw
  • 0.2 g Black pepper

Method

  1. Mix the flour and salt, work in a little of the oil, then gradually add the water and knead into a smooth, soft dough; cover and rest 30 minutes.
  2. Finely chop the chives and mix with the crushed garlic, pepper and a little of the remaining oil.
  3. Divide the dough into two balls, roll each out thinly into a circle, and spread the chive filling over one half.
  4. Fold the other half over to enclose the filling, sealing the edges well, and roll gently once more to flatten slightly.
  5. Heat a dry griddle or heavy pan over medium heat and cook the bread 3-4 minutes per side, brushing with the remaining oil, until golden-brown spots appear and the dough is cooked through.
  6. Cut into wedges and serve warm.
