Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Mix flour and salt in a bowl. Add warm water and 2 tbsp melted butter, stirring until a soft dough forms.

  2. Step 2

    Knead dough on a floured surface for 3 minutes until smooth. Divide into 2 portions and rest for 5 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Roll one dough portion into a thin 8-inch round. Brush with 1 tbsp melted butter, fold into quarters, then roll thin again.

  4. Step 4

    Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high until it shimmers. Pan-fry the folded dough until golden brown, 2–3 minutes per side.

  5. Step 5

    Transfer to a plate. Repeat steps 3–4 with the second dough portion.

  6. Step 6

    Drizzle both flatbreads with honey, dust with cinnamon, and serve warm.
