Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the bread flour, instant yeast, and salt.
  2. Pour in the room temperature water and stir with a wooden spoon until a sticky dough forms.
  3. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead briefly for about 1 minute until smooth.
  4. Divide the dough into two equal portions and shape each into a ball.
  5. On a floured surface, roll each ball into a thin oval or round, about 1/4-inch thick.
  6. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat until very hot.
  7. Place one flatbread in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form and the bottom is golden brown.
  8. Flip and cook the other side for 1-2 minutes until golden spots appear.
  9. Remove to a plate and repeat with the second flatbread. Serve immediately.
