My one-pan speedy folded flatbreads, the toastie of all toasties,
stuffed with a scrumptious cheesy filling, the perfect snack for rattling out any time of day
when you need something delicious quick. So by the time this pan heats up
we're gonna be cooking bread, so it's this simple. Get yourself a bowl and you want four tablespoons
of strong bread flour, easy. We wanna season it with a little salt. I wanna give it a bit more
depth of flavour with an old friend, just a bit of yoghurt. So a tablespoon of yoghurt goes in.
And then we wanna give it some lift, some sponginess. So to do that we've got a nice
little old trick, baking powder. Just one level teaspoon is all you need, it's that simple.
About four tablespoons of water and what you want is a thick batter, much thicker than a pancake but
not a dough. I'll show you exactly the texture. That's pretty good. It's not a pancake batter
and it's not a dough... it's that. Whatever that is, okay, it just falls off a spoon. So in a pan
I'll get myself a little bit of oil or butter, it doesn't really matter, and then we're gonna go in
to the pan and this texture that we're trying to achieve is just enough for me to be able to slowly
move this around and kiss the edge of the pan. So this is a 24 centimetre pan. The quickest
bread in the world, you will make this so many times. So look get it as flat as you can, easy,
easy, easy. So it literally is zero to hero in about three or four minutes. So look as you
can see it frying around the edges we can see the bubbles just beginning to come up and you can see
the batter kind of cooking into that spongy bread. While that batter on the inside is quite soft
it's quite a nice opportunity for things that you put inside the sandwich to stick to it and become
part of it. So first up, tomatoes. Just load up your flavours on one side because we're gonna
fold it and make the best toastie ever. Then you want some cheese to give you that ooze. So cheddar
is your best friend, as we all know, but it could be mozzarella. You could mix up your cheeses and
kind of do a little raid on your fridge and use up the little leftovers, so of course Red Leicester
can be really good fun. And if you want that really oozy stringiness then you might want to
use something like a Gouda. So do whatever you want. Ham of course, it could be cured meats,
it could be salami, so get that in there. If you want to rev it up with some herbs, chives are
pretty nice with the cheese and the ham. I always like to give it a little bit of a hit of mustard
for a little heat. So you know look, there's no point in me teaching you what combo of sandwich
you like, you know what you like. The point is the bread. At this point we get a little knife
and we fold the bread over so that's what you get, a beautiful flatbread. And then we'll flip it.
For me what I love about this is it's a great recipe in itself but it's a great solution also
for when you run out of bread. And you can fill it with whatever combo you want you could do tuna and
beans and chilli, you could do ricotta basil pesto tomatoes, you can go sweet bananas chocolates, you
know honey things like that, so you can combo up the best toastie ever. So that's it, in about four
minutes we've cooked it up, toasted it up, gone from nothing to something very, very beautiful.
Look at that.
Mm! Crispy, on the outside, very spongy on the inside. We've got that ooze
that we want. Brilliant the kids will love that, I love that, happy days.
All right we got toastie! Nice one J, ham, cheese, tomato.
Old classics. So good. That's what we like. The bread tastes really fresh dad,
it tastes like freshly baked. That's because it didn't exist about... seven minutes ago.
River you will absolutely love this. I invented this for you. Amazing! Amazing!
