Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Essential Ingredients
  • 3 cups Flatbread Flour Opt for stone-ground flour for better texture.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 2 tablespoons Ghee Choose grass-fed ghee for richer flavor.
  • 1 cup Warm Water Helps in activating gluten.
  • as needed Vegetable Oil or Melted Butter For oiling the dough.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flatbread flour and salt until evenly mixed.
  2. Add the ghee to the flour mixture, mixing until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Gradually add the warm water, stirring until the mixture comes together into a shaggy dough.
  4. Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until it feels smooth and elastic.
  5. Lightly coat the kneaded dough with vegetable oil to prevent it from drying out.
  6. Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and let the dough rest for 3 hours.
Cooking
  1. Once rested, divide the dough into smaller portions and stretch each piece into an even thickness.
  2. Preheat a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat.
  3. Cook each flatbread for about 1-2 minutes on each side until golden and puffed.

Notes

For reheating, use an oven or air fryer to crisp up your flatbread. Avoid microwaving.
