Greek Olga Bread

This the first time I have came across this bread [recipe HERE].  My hubby loves flat bread which can be used as a wrap for vegetables and meat or eat it with hot curry.

This bread tastes of honey and has a slight sweetness that can be eaten on its own.  Soft and moist.
Ingredients
[makes 8-10 pieces]
1/4 cup milk
2 tbsp honey
2 tbsp  butter
1/2 tsp salt
1 egg
1/2 tsp  sugar
280 gm all-purpose flour
1 tsp instant yeast
  • Put all ingredients into the mixer bowl [except butter].  Knead until soft and smooth.  Add in butter.  Continue kneading until soft, smooth and elastic.
  • Cover dough and leave to rise until double its size.
  • Punch down dough,  divide into 8-10 equal pieces.  Roll each piece to a thin rough circle about 1/8 inch thick.
  • Heat a large dry skillet or an electric griddle, over medium-high heat [Do Not use any oil].  Cook 15 seconds, flip and cook the other side for about 10-15 seconds, until mottled brown spots appear.   Do not over cook. 
  • Cool and wrap in foil.  Keep in a plastic bag, use them at once or refrigerate or freeze.

  1. The bread looks like mini chapati. I think I would like to eat it on its own.

  2. Hi Cheah, I did try eating it plain. Tasted of honey, soft and moist. Use as vege wrap would also be good for a light lunch.
