Ingredients
✔ 450g all-purpose flour (16 oz, about 3½ cups)
✔ 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (30ml, or any neutral oil)
✔ 1 cup hot water (240ml, not boiling—just warm!
✔ Salt to taste (about ½ teaspoon, optional)
Step-by-Step Instructions
1️⃣ Mix the Dough
- In a large bowl, combine flour and salt (if using).
- Add vegetable oil and gradually pour in the hot waterwhile stirring with a spoon.
- Mix until a soft dough forms.
2️⃣ Knead & Rest
- Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 2-3 minutes, just until smooth. (No need for heavy kneading!)
- Cover with a clean towel and let it rest for 5–10 minutes (this helps it become more elastic and easy to roll out!).
3️⃣ Shape & Cook
- Divide the dough into 6-8 equal portions.
- Roll each portion into a thin, round flatbread (about 6 inches in diameter).
- Heat a dry pan or skillet over medium-high heat.
- Cook each flatbread for 1-2 minutes per side, flipping when bubbles form and the bottom gets golden brown.
4️⃣ Serve & Enjoy!
