Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.75 cup warm water
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, and baking powder. Mix well to distribute the dry ingredients evenly.
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the olive oil and warm water.
Using a wooden spoon or your hands, mix the ingredients together until a rough dough forms.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 4-5 minutes, or until the dough becomes smooth and elastic. If the dough is sticky, add a little more flour, one teaspoon at a time.
Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and roll each piece into a ball. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let rest for 10 minutes to relax the gluten.
Roll each ball of dough into a thin circle or oval shape, about 1/8 inch thick, using a rolling pin and a lightly floured surface.
Heat a dry skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Once hot, cook each flatbread for 1-2 minutes on each side, or until puffed and lightly charred in places.
Wrap the cooked flatbreads in a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm and soft while cooking the remaining batches.
Serve warm with your favorite spreads, dips, or toppings, or use as a wrap or pizza base.
