Ingredients
Scale
- 200 grams all-purpose flour (1 and 2/3 cups) or (7.05 ounces)
- 5 grams baking powder (1 teaspoon) or (0.18 ounces)
- A pinch of salt
- 120 ml water (½ cup)
- 1 tablespoon oil (olive oil or vegetable oil)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Add water and oil, then mix until a dough forms.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead gently for about 1-2 minutes until smooth.
- Divide the dough into 4 equal portions and roll each into a ball. Flatten each ball into a round, about ¼-inch thick.
- Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Cook each piece of bread for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and puffed up.
- Remove from the pan and serve warm with butter, cheese, or your favorite spreads.
Notes
- Avoid over-kneading the dough to keep the bread soft.
- For extra flavor, brush with garlic butter or sprinkle with herbs before cooking.
- To store, wrap in a clean kitchen towel to maintain softness or freeze for later use.
