• Difficulty Level: Easy

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour (plus more for dusting)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 2 tablespoons olive oil (or melted butter)
• ¾ cup warm water (about 110°F or 43°C)

• Mixing bowl

Preparation Steps

Step 1: Make the Dough

1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder.

2. Add Wet Ingredients: Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the olive oil and warm water. Mix with a fork or your hands until a shaggy dough forms.

3. Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. If the dough is sticky, add a little more flour as needed.

Step 2: Rest the Dough

1. Cover and Rest: Form the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly greased bowl. Cover with a kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let it rest for about 15-30 minutes. This helps the gluten relax, making it easier to roll out.

Step 3: Roll Out the Flatbreads

1. Divide the Dough: After resting, divide the dough into 6-8 equal pieces, depending on your desired size for the flatbreads.

2. Roll Out: On a floured surface, use a rolling pin to roll each piece into a thin circle (about 1/8 inch thick). Aim for even thickness for consistent cooking.
