In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, yoghurt, and salt. Gently knead it into a ball and leave the dough to rest for 20 minutes at room temperature.
Divide the dough into 2 mounds and roll them into balls.
Heat a small amount of oil in a frying pan over high heat. Roll the flatbread using a rolling pin.
Place the dough into the frying pan and flash-fry for 20-30 seconds or until browned. Turn the flatbread and cook for a further 20 seconds. Set aside to cool.
In a dry pan, lightly toast the pine nuts over low heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning. Set aside to cool.
Place the tomatoes in a salad bowl. Add olive oil and red wine vinegar, then toss to combine.
Scatter the toasted pine nuts and basil leaves over the salad.
Place the burrata in the center of the bowl and season with salt and pepper.
Before serving, slice open the burrata and enjoy with the flatbread.
Ensure the pan is hot enough before cooking the flatbread to achieve a nice browning.
Toast the pine nuts carefully, as they can burn quickly if left unattended.
Use fresh basil leaves for the best flavor in the salad.
Can I use plain flour instead of self-raising flour?
Yes, you can use plain flour, but you will need to add a small amount of baking powder to help the flatbread rise.
What can I substitute for burrata?
You can substitute burrata with fresh mozzarella or ricotta for a similar creamy texture.
Can I make the flatbread ahead of time?
Yes, you can make the flatbread ahead of time and store it in an airtight container. Reheat it briefly in a pan before serving.
How do I store leftover salad?
Store leftover salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Keep the burrata separate to maintain its texture.
Can I use other types of vinegar?
Yes, you can use balsamic vinegar or apple cider vinegar as a substitute for red wine vinegar.
