Dough Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 3/4 cup water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the flour, salt, sugar, and baking powder thoroughly to ensure even distribution of the leavening agents and seasoning.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the water and olive oil, stirring the mixture until it forms a loose dough.
- Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead vigorously for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic, which helps develop gluten for a better texture.
- Divide and Shape: Cut the dough into small, equal-sized balls. Flatten each ball into a disc shape, about 1/4 inch thick, suitable for even cooking.
- Cook on Skillet: Preheat a skillet over medium heat. Place each dough disc onto the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side until they turn golden brown and develop a nice crust. Remove from the skillet and let the bread cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Ensure the skillet is properly preheated to medium heat to avoid burning or undercooking the bread.
- If the dough is sticky, add a little more flour during kneading to make handling easier.
- This bread is best enjoyed warm and can be served as a side or used for sandwiches.
- You can add herbs or spices to the dough for extra flavor variations.
