Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.75 cups Water
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the salt.
Gradually add the olive oil to the flour mixture, stirring with a spoon or your hands until the oil is fully incorporated.
Slowly pour in the water a little at a time while mixing, until the dough starts to come together. You may need slightly more or less water depending on your flour.
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and pliable.
Divide the dough into 4 equal parts and roll each piece into a ball.
Using a rolling pin, flatten each ball of dough into a thin circle or oval about 1/8-inch thick.
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Once hot, place one piece of dough onto the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on the first side, or until bubbles begin to form.
Flip the bread and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side, or until both sides have golden brown spots.
Repeat with the remaining pieces of dough, stacking the cooked bread on a plate covered with a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm.
Serve immediately with your favorite accompaniment, or store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
