Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoons Baking powder
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.75 cups Warm water
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, salt, and baking powder until well combined.
Step 2
Add the olive oil to the dry ingredients, and mix with your fingers or a fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 3
Gradually add the warm water, a little at a time, mixing continuously, until the dough comes together into a soft, pliable ball. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour; if it's too dry, add a few more drops of water.
Step 4
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead it for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Step 5
Divide the dough into 6 equal portions and roll each piece into a ball. Cover the balls with a clean kitchen towel and let them rest for 10 minutes.
Step 6
Heat a dry skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.
Step 7
On a floured surface, roll out each dough ball into a thin circle or oval, about 8 inches in diameter.
Step 8
Place the rolled-out dough onto the preheated skillet. Cook for about 1-2 minutes, or until bubbles form and the underside has golden-brown spots.
Step 9
Flip the flatbread and cook for another 1-2 minutes until both sides are cooked and have spots of color.
Step 10
Repeat with the remaining dough balls. Keep the cooked flatbreads warm by wrapping them in a clean kitchen towel.
Step 11
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days or freeze for longer storage.
