Gut health plays a vital role in our wellbeing – and one of the best ways to improve it is by eating the right foods. Kefir is a gut-friendly ingredient, so give these easy flatbreads a go to improve your gut health.
400 g strong white bread flour, plus extra to dust
7 g sachet fast-action dried yeast
200 g natural kefir yogurt, we used Yeo Valley, see intro
For the topping
400 g pork sausages
2 Tbsp. tomato purée
200 g passata
1 red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 tsp. dried mixed herbs
150 g Tenderstem broccoli, cut into 3cm pieces
250 g mozzarella, drained weight, roughly torn
Directions
Step 1For the dough, in a large bowl, mix the flour, yeast and 1tsp fine salt.
Add the kefir yogurt and 100ml
tepid water, and mix to make a soft
dough. Tip on to a lightly floured
work surface and knead for 10min,
until smooth and elastic. Return to
the bowl, cover and leave to rise
in a warm place for 1hr, or until
doubled in size.
Step 2For the topping, squeeze the
sausagemeat out of its skin into a
medium bowl (discard skins) and
mash to break up a little. Mix in the
tomato purée, passata, chilli, garlic,
dried herbs and plenty of seasoning.
Cover and chill until needed.
Step 3Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan)
mark 6. Line 2 large baking sheets
with baking parchment. Tip
the risen dough on to a lightly
floured work surface and divide
into 4. Working 1 piece at a time,
roll into a rough 20.5cm circle.
Transfer to the lined sheets.
Repeat with remaining dough.
Step 4Spread the sausage sauce over
the dough bases, leaving a rough
5mm border. Top with the broccoli
pieces and scatter over the
mozzarella. Cook for 30min, or
until golden and bubbling. Serve
with a green salad, if you like.
