Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups all-purpose flour (plus extra for dusting)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt
- 3 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil
- 1 cup ice water
- Oil for cooking (about 2–3 tablespoons)
- Optional topping: Olive oil or melted butter, garlic powder, chopped parsley, pinch of salt
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the olive oil and ice water. Stir until the dough comes together and is soft, moist, but not sticky. Adjust with more water or flour if needed.
- Cover the bowl and let the dough rest for 10 minutes.
- Lightly flour your work surface and transfer the dough. Flatten it and divide into 10–12 equal portions, rolling each into a ball.
- Use a rolling pin or your hands to flatten each dough ball into a ¼-inch thick round.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of oil.
- Cook each flatbread for 2–3 minutes on each side until golden brown spots appear. Repeat for remaining pieces.
- Optionally, brush warm flatbreads with garlic butter or herb oil for added flavor before serving.
Notes
- If dough is too dry, add a few drops of water. If too sticky, add a little flour.
- Wrap hot flatbreads in a clean towel to keep them soft.
- Use medium heat to avoid burning or drying out the flatbread.
- Gluten-free flour can be used as a substitute with proper adjustments.
- Flatbread can be used for wraps, pizzas, or served with dips and stews.
