Ingredients
Unleavened Bread Ingredients
- 2 cups + 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour (spooned into a measuring cup and leveled off with a knife, plus more for rolling)
- 1 cup warm water
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Mix dry ingredients: In a bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt thoroughly by stirring them together to ensure even seasoning throughout the dough.
- Knead dough: Gradually add the warm water to the flour mixture while stirring continuously until a rough dough forms. Transfer the dough to a clean surface and knead it for about 3 minutes until it becomes elastic and smooth.
- Divide dough: Preheat a non-stick skillet on the stove over medium-high heat. Divide the kneaded dough into 4 equal-sized portions, shaping each into a ball to make rolling easier.
- Roll out dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll each dough ball into a circle approximately 6 inches in diameter and about ½ inch thick.
- Cook bread: Place each rolled dough circle onto the hot skillet and cook for about 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown spots appear, indicating that the bread is cooked through.
- Wrap to soften: To achieve a softer texture, stack the cooked unleavened breads on top of each other and wrap them tightly in a clean, dry kitchen towel. The residual steam will gently soften the bread. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- Use warm water to help the dough come together more easily.
- Do not over-knead, as this can make the bread tough.
- If you want thinner bread, roll the dough thinner than ½ inch, but reduce cooking time accordingly.
- Using a non-stick skillet eliminates the need to grease the pan, keeping the bread light and oil-free.
- This bread is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored wrapped in a towel and reheated on a skillet.
