These chunky hot filled chicken, bacon and pepper flatbreads make a tasty change from the usual sandwich or toastie and are substantial enough for a filling evening meal served with a crisp green salad. Flatbreads come in all shapes and sizes and this recipe uses the thicker Turkish-style breads. To make your own flatbreads make up a packet of pizza base mix according to the packet instructions. Divide the dough into two and roll each piece out to a 20cm circle. Leave in a warm place for 30 mins then brush lightly with oil and cook in a very hot, heavy-based frying pan for 3-4 mins on each side until puffy and golden.
