Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 180 milliliters Warm water
- 100 grams Plain yogurt
- 30 grams Butter (for brushing, optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cumin seeds, salt, and baking powder. Mix well to distribute the dry ingredients evenly.
Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and add olive oil, warm water, and yogurt.
Stir the mixture with a wooden spoon or your hands until a soft dough begins to form.
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Cover the dough with a damp kitchen towel and let it rest for 30 minutes to allow the gluten to relax.
Once rested, divide the dough into 6 equal portions and roll each into a ball.
Using a rolling pin, flatten each dough ball into a round or oval shape about 1/4 inch thick.
Heat a dry skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Once hot, place a flatbread onto the skillet.
Cook for 1-2 minutes on the first side until bubbles begin to form and the underside develops golden spots.
Flip the flatbread and cook for another 1-2 minutes until both sides are golden and cooked through.
Repeat with the remaining dough portions, stacking the cooked flatbreads on a plate and covering them with a clean towel to keep warm.
Optionally, brush the warm flatbreads with melted butter for added flavor before serving.
Enjoy the cumin flatbreads with dips, curries, or as a wrap for your favorite fillings.
