Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoons Baking powder
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.75 cups Water
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, salt, and baking powder. Stir well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Make a well in the center of the dry mixture and add the olive oil and water.
Mix the ingredients together with a wooden spoon or your hands until a rough dough forms.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 5–7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.
Using a rolling pin, roll each ball out into a thin, round flatbread about 6–8 inches in diameter.
Heat a dry, non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.
Place one flatbread on the hot skillet and cook for 1–2 minutes until bubbles form and the bottom has golden spots.
Flip the flatbread and cook the other side for an additional 1–2 minutes until lightly browned.
Remove from the skillet and cover with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm while you cook the remaining flatbreads.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
