Water bread-What is it?
Water bread is the name, as the ingredients are only water, salt and flour. There is no yeast, for that reason, the bread is flat. Water Bread is just another name of Flat Bread.
I love making them, serving and eating them. It is quick to prepare and so much fun to see the bread in the making. Cook on a hot pan, soon it is puffed up, turn it over to cook the other side, and in a few seconds, the bread is ready. It is delicious for a wrap, filled with lettuce, meat and the dressing. Excellent to be served with any curry or stew, the bread is delicious to mop the sauces.
I did not use any proper recipe, but I will write down the quantities of the ingredients as I remember it.
The Making Process
Cooking the thin circle dough on a hot pan, as soon as when it puffs up, turn it over and cook for a few seconds, the water bread is baked as pictured.
The quantity of the ingredients as I remember:
1 cup heap full plain flour
1/2 cup warm water
1 teaspoon oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
Extra flour for kneading and rolling
To make them
Mix all ingredients together to make a soft dough
Knead lightly until smooth
Rest the dough for twenty minutes
Knead the dough again gently
Divide the dough into 8 pieces
Roll each dough into thin circles
Place on a hot pan one by one
As soon as it puffs up, turn it over and cook for a few seconds.
To serve
Serve with curries, stews, or serve it with stuffed vegetables and yoghurt

| stuffed nasturtium and yoghurt |
The nasturtium leaves were so green and broad, I could not help it to use them for my cooking, which is using the leaf for "stuffed nasturtium with meat and vegetables". They were delicious to be served with yoghurt and the water bread.
It was the right time to use the nasturtium, as now they have bruised and damaged by the frost this winter.
Cooking is fun when you have time and helpers to clean the mess. No, it is not messy to cook the water bread, it is easily achievable without fuss.
