Making homemade flatbread is simple, quick, and requires just a few basic ingredients. Here’s a step-by-step guide to making soft and delicious flatbread at home.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (or whole wheat flour)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder (optional, for fluffier bread)
- 3/4 cup warm water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter
Instructions
1. Prepare the Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and baking powder (if using). Add the warm water and olive oil, then mix until the dough starts to come together.
2. Knead the Dough
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5–7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. If the dough is sticky, sprinkle a little more flour as needed.
3. Let the Dough Rest
Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel and let it rest for 20–30 minutes. This helps relax the gluten, making it easier to roll out.
4. Divide and Roll Out
Divide the dough into 6–8 equal portions. Roll each piece into a thin circle or oval shape, about 1/8-inch thick.
5. Cook the Flatbread
Heat a dry skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Place one flatbread in the pan and cook for about 1–2 minutes until bubbles form and the bottom develops golden brown spots. Flip and cook for another minute.
6. Keep Warm & Serve
Transfer the cooked flatbread to a clean towel and cover to keep warm while you cook the rest. Serve warm with dips, wraps, or alongside your favorite dishes.
Tips & Variations
- Garlic Herb Flatbread: Add minced garlic and chopped herbs to the dough.
- Cheesy Flatbread: Sprinkle shredded cheese before flipping.
- Gluten-Free Option: Use a gluten-free flour blend.
