Ingredients
  

For the Flatbread
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour substitute with gluten-free flour for a healthier option
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder essential for achieving perfect texture without yeast
  • 1 teaspoon salt enhances the overall flavor
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil adds richness and moisture; can substitute with vegetable oil
  • 3/4 cup ice water keeps the dough from becoming too warm
  • 2-3 tablespoons cooking oil necessary for frying
For Optional Toppings
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or melted butter for brushing on cooked flatbread
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder for a savory twist
  • chopped parsley for garnish

Equipment

  • Large Bowl
  • Whisk or fork
  • Rolling Pin
  • cast iron skillet
  • Kitchen towel

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a large bowl, mix together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and 1 teaspoon of salt until fully combined.
  2. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 3/4 cup of ice water to the flour mixture. Stir gently until a soft, moist dough begins to form.
  3. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rest for 10 minutes.
  4. Turn the rested dough onto a floured surface. Divide it into 10-12 equal pieces and shape into balls, then flatten each ball to about ¼ inch thick.
  5. Preheat a cast iron skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of cooking oil.
  6. Cook each flatbread in the hot skillet for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
  7. Transfer cooked flatbread to a plate and cover with a kitchen towel to keep warm. Repeat with remaining dough.
  8. Optionally, brush each flatbread with olive oil or melted butter and sprinkle with garlic powder before serving.
