Instructions

  1. Step 1

    In a large bowl, mix 2 cups flour and 1 tsp salt. Gradually add 3/4 cup water and 1 tbsp olive oil, stirring until a shaggy dough forms.

  2. Step 2

    Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover with a damp cloth and let rest for 10 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a thin circle, about 1/4-inch thick.

  4. Step 4

    Heat a dry skillet over medium-high heat. Cook each flatbread for 2-3 minutes per side, until puffed and golden with brown spots.

  5. Step 5

    Brush the hot flatbreads with the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil and serve warm.
