Flatbreads atm. Plain flour, salt, water, barely knead, roll, dry frying pan. Sometimes throw a bit of dill in. Can't tell if it makes a difference.

 

What does make a difference is accidentally opening a bag of self-raising and being determined to use it up. They're dreadful.

I reckon a bit of dill seeds , (or cumin, or caraway), adds quite a lot to flatbreads.

What fuel source are you? Do you own a wok?

A wok upside-down on the biggest gas burner or, ideally, over embers on a fire outside, can (and should) be used as a cooking surface for flatbreads, similar to the process for rumali roti. Tortillas, na'an, paratha, etc., all work well.

 

For the dough, a few spoons of yoghurt, oil, or leftover cooking grease makes them supple and yielding. If available, replace some of the water with the whey from a packet of fresh mozzarella.

I am currently eating a fish finger sandwich.

Gas and wood (outside) but I'd rather not soot up the inside of a wok. Just use the wood for boiling, with a pan with a permanently filthy exterior. 

 

Tips gratefully received and noted, chef. Was it the degeneracy of kitchen work that led you to abuse children and hate the queen?

It makes it dill-dough!

Oh don't be a baby, just turn your wok upside down and get on with it. If it wasn't worth the TINY bit of cleaning up afterwards, I wouldn't recommend it. They are legit, yo.

 

And no, I never hated the Queen, just the institution of the monarchy itself. It took the events surrounding the sweaty nonce Prince Andrew to make me find the various individuals distasteful. But yes, the debauchery of a busy kitchen is indeed a great place to succumb to all manner of exciting excesses.

Excellent work. I shall pass it off as my own. 

 

One in atm. Fenel seeds. Only seeds I could find without really rummaging.

You've got a dildo in at the moment?

 

Ignoring that, you're late. I thought I used to be a late cooker and eater, but I'd generally started by 10, latest.

 

Oh yeah, fennel, forgot that in my list. 👍

Didn't like it at first but it grew on me. Probably 2" by the time I'd finished eating.

Joking aside, seed concept proved but fennel not for me. I don't hate it as much as peds hates Britain but maybe as much as Ed Milliband's dad does.
