Barbecue expert Ted Reader has unveiled a simple yet delicious grilled flatbread recipe, ideal for summer gatherings. The recipe, demonstrated outside the CTV Kitchener studio on June 19, 2026, requires just a few basic ingredients and minimal preparation time.
Simple Dough, Bold Flavour
The flatbread dough combines all-purpose flour, plain yogurt, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Reader emphasizes that no yeast or rising time is needed, making it a quick option for weeknight meals or backyard parties. After mixing the ingredients into a soft dough, it is divided into portions and rolled out thinly.
Cooking the flatbread on a preheated grill adds a smoky char. Reader recommends grilling each side for 2–3 minutes until golden brown with grill marks. The flatbread can be served warm with dips, as a wrap, or as a base for toppings like grilled vegetables, cheese, or herbs.
Versatile and Crowd-Pleasing
According to Reader, the flatbread pairs well with any grilled meat or salad. He suggests brushing the cooked flatbread with garlic butter or olive oil and sprinkling with sea salt for extra flavour. The recipe yields about six flatbreads, adjustable for larger groups.
Reader, a well-known Canadian chef and cookbook author, often shares accessible recipes that highlight outdoor cooking. This flatbread is part of his summer collection, encouraging home cooks to experiment with simple, fresh ingredients.
