Description

Delicious and easy-to-make homemade flatbread perfect for any meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3/4 cup warm water
  • 3/4 cup warm milk
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil (or other neutral flavored oils)
  • 1/2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp instant yeast
  • 3 1/2 cup all purpose flour (plus more for dusting the surface)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl mix water, milk, oil, sugar, salt and instant yeast.
  2. Slowly add in the flour and mix using your hands or stand mixer until the dough comes together. This would take between 8 to 10 minutes. The dough will be a bit sticky.
  3. Rub a bit of oil all over the dough and place it in a large bowl. Cover and let it rise for 40 minutes. (I usually let mine rise in an “off” oven)
  4. After 40 minutes, gently deflate the dough and divide it into 10 pieces. Shape each piece into a ball. Cover them all with a kitchen towel so they don’t dry as you cook them. Let the dough balls sit for 15 minutes as you heat the pan.
  5. Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat. Flour your surface and your rolling dough very well. Place a dough ball on the surface and roll it out to be very thin.
  6. Place it on the hot pan and cook for 45 seconds to one minute. There will be bubbles. Flip and cook on the other side for about 30-45 seconds. Place the bread on a plate and cover with a kitchen towel.
  7. Repeat with the remaining dough.

Notes

  • Let the dough rise in a warm area for best results.
  • You can adjust the thickness of the flatbread according to your preference.
  • Store any leftover bread in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
