Step 1
In a large bowl, mix 2 cups flour and 1 tsp salt. Gradually add 0.75 cup water, stirring until a shaggy dough forms.
Step 2
Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. Divide into 4 balls and coat each with 1 tbsp of the oil.
Step 3
On an oiled surface, press one ball into a thin rectangle. Fold the sides over like a letter, then fold in half to make a square. Repeat for all balls.
Step 4
Heat a skillet over medium-high. Cook each square for 2-3 minutes per side, pressing gently, until golden brown spots appear and the bread puffs slightly.
Step 5
Keep cooked flatbreads warm under a towel while cooking the rest. Serve warm with honey, jam, or as a wrap.
