Instructions

0 / 6 steps
  1. 1

    In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Gradually add the milk and 1 tablespoon of olive oil, mixing until a soft dough forms.

  2. 2

    Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. (If available, adding 1/2 tsp baking powder with the flour can make them softer).

  3. 3

    Divide the dough into 4-6 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a thin, round flatbread (about 6-8 inches in diameter).

  4. 4

    Heat a non-stick skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Add a little cooking oil (olive oil works well).

  5. 5

    Cook each flatbread for 1-2 minutes per side, or until golden brown spots appear and the bread is cooked through. They might puff up slightly.

  6. 6

    Serve warm, brushed with a little butter if desired, or with savory dishes.
