Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (or whole wheat flour)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup water or plant-based milk (unsweetened)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil (plus extra for cooking)
- fresh herbs, minced garlic, sesame seeds (optional for extra flavor)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Mix the water or plant-based milk and olive oil together, and to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms.
- On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough for about 3-5 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Adjust the dough, If it's too moist and sticky by adding a little more flour. If too dry, add a tiny bit of water.
- Cover the dough with a clean cloth and let it rest for about 15 minutes. This helps relax the gluten and makes the flatbread softer.
- After resting, divide the dough into 4-6 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball, then use a rolling pin to flatten each one into a thin, round or oval shape (make approximately 1/4 inch thick).
- Heat a non-stick skillet or cast-iron pan over medium heat. Add a small amount of olive oil to coat the bottom. Place one of the flatbreads in the pan and cook for 3 minutes until bubbles form and the bottom is golden brown. Flip and cook for another few minutes on the other side.
- If you want to infuse more flavor, you can brush the flatbread with olive oil and sprinkle garlic or herbs on top while it's still warm.
