Method
Dough Preparation
- 1
Combine Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of baking powder. Mix well until all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.

Form the Dough
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir with a wooden spoon or your hands until the mixture comes together into a dough. If the dough is too dry, add a little more water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until it is workable.

Knead the Dough
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.

Rest the Dough
Cover the kneaded dough with a damp cloth or plastic wrap and let it rest for at least 30 minutes. This allows the gluten to relax, making it easier to roll out.

Cook the Flatbread
Place the rolled-out dough onto the hot skillet. Cook for about 1-2 minutes on each side, or until light golden brown spots appear. Adjust the heat as necessary to prevent burning.

Serve
Remove the flatbread from the skillet and keep warm in a clean kitchen towel until ready to serve. Enjoy with dips, sauces, or as a side with your favorite dishes.
