• To make flatbreads, sift the flour into a bowl and stir in the yogurt. Bring the mixture together to form a soft dough. Turn out onto a floured surface and knead gently until smooth. Roll into 4 balls, then use a rolling pin to roll into circles as thin as you can (approx 2mm), then shake off any excess flour. Heat a large frying pan, add the flatbreads one at a time and cook for 1-2 mins each side. Keep warm in a low oven while you cook the rest. To serve, arrange the meat on a platter with the antipasti. Serve with the flatbreads.
