Method

In a bowl, stir together the flour, yogurt, baking powder and a good pinch of salt. When the mixture starts to come together to form a dough, flour your hands and knead on a lightly floured surface for 4-5 minutes until smooth.
Divide the dough in half, then roll into 2 rough circles about 5mm thick. Heat a griddle or frying pan until hot. Cook the flatbreads one at a time for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden.
In the same pan, fry the pancetta slices on both sides until crisp (about 5 minutes).

Tear the burrata over the flatbreads and divide evenly between them, then top with the rocket, radicchio, pancetta and figs. Drizzle with honey and serve straightaway.

Burrata is a luxurious mozzarella that has cream in its centre. If you can’t find it, use a good quality buffalo mozzarella instead.
Make to the end of step 2, cool, then keep in an airtight container or tightly sealed food bag for up to 2 days. Reheat the flatbreads to serve.
