Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Optional: herbs or garlic powder for flavor
Wet Ingredients
- 3/4 cup water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter (plus more for greasing skillet)
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt thoroughly. If using herbs or garlic powder, add them now to infuse the bread with extra flavor.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Stir in the water and olive oil or melted butter until a soft dough forms. The mixture should come together but still be slightly sticky to the touch.
- Knead Dough: Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. This will help develop the texture of the bread.
- Portion Dough: Divide the dough into 4 equal portions and roll each into a ball to prepare for cooking.
- Shape Flatbreads: Flatten each ball into a round about 1/4-inch thick, making sure they are evenly shaped for consistent cooking.
- Preheat Skillet: Preheat a skillet over medium-low heat and lightly grease it with olive oil or butter to prevent sticking and encourage browning.
- Cook Flatbreads: Cook each dough round one at a time for 3–5 minutes on each side, turning carefully. Adjust the heat as needed to ensure the bread cooks through without burning and turns golden brown on both sides.
- Serve or Store: Serve the flatbreads warm for best flavor and texture. Alternatively, let them cool completely and store in an airtight container for later use.
Notes
- Add fresh or dried herbs like rosemary, thyme, or oregano for extra flavor.
- This bread is versatile and works great as a wrap, sandwich base, or alongside dips and spreads.
- For a fluffier texture, substitute yogurt for the water in the dough.
- Adjust cooking heat carefully to avoid burning the bread while ensuring it cooks through.
