Instructions

Working time approx. 20 minutes; Total time approx. 20 minutes

Australian baking powder flatbread

Preheat oven to 210°C. Grease a baking tray. Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt into a bowl and make a well in the center. Mix together the butter, milk, and 125 ml water and pour into the well. Mix in loosely with a knife. Form a ball and knead briefly on a floured surface. Place on the baking tray and flatten into a flatbread about 20 cm in diameter. Use a sharp, pointed knife to cut the surface into eight segments by making about 1 cm deep cuts. Brush with milk, dust with a little flour, and bake for about 10 minutes. Reduce the temperature to 180°C and bake for a further 15 minutes until golden brown. Serve while still warm with butter and honey or syrup. You can also make 4 small flatbreads from the dough. Cut these crosswise and shorten the baking time slightly.
