- Once the dough is kneaded, cover the bowl with a damp cloth or plastic wrap. Let the dough rest for about 10 minutes. This allows the gluten to relax, making the dough easier to roll out.
Divide and Shape:
- After resting, divide the dough into 14 equal pieces.
- Roll each piece into a ball. Cover the dough balls with a cloth to prevent them from drying out while you work.
Roll Out the Flatbread:
- Take one dough ball at a time, and on a lightly floured surface, roll it out as thin as possible without tearing. Aim for a diameter of about 15-16 cm (6-7 inches).
Cook the Flatbread:
- Heat a large skillet or griddle over high heat. Do not add oil.
- Place the rolled-out dough onto the hot skillet. Cook for about 1-2 minutes on each side or until golden brown and puffy. The flatbread should bubble up a bit as it cooks, which is a good sign.
Finish with Butter:
- As soon as each flatbread comes off the skillet, brush it generously with melted butter. The heat from the bread will melt the butter, giving it a wonderful flavor and soft texture.
Serve:
- Serve the flatbreads warm. They are perfect for wrapping around meats, vegetables, or simply dipping into sauces and curries.
Serving Suggestions
- Wrap around grilled meats or vegetables for a hearty sandwich.
- Serve alongside soups, stews, or curries for a delicious accompaniment.
- Use as a base for homemade pizzas.
- Enjoy with dips like hummus, baba ganoush, or tzatziki.
Cooking Tips
- Ensure the skillet or griddle is very hot before adding the dough to achieve the best puff and golden color.
- Roll the dough as thin as possible for a crispier texture.
- If the dough sticks to the rolling pin, lightly flour the surface and the rolling pin.
