Ingredients You Will Need
All purpose flour
2 cups or 240 grams
Baking powder
1 tablespoon
Salt
1 teaspoon
Milk
Three quarters cup or 180 ml
Oil or melted butter
2 tablespoons
Optional extras for flavor
Garlic powder half teaspoon
Dried herbs half teaspoon
Step by Step Method
Step one prepare your workspace
Start by cleaning your counter and gathering all ingredients. Use a large mixing bowl so everything fits comfortably. Make sure your measuring cups are accurate. This helps the bread turn out soft and balanced.
Step two mix dry ingredients
Add the flour baking powder and salt to the bowl. Use a spoon or your hand to mix everything well. This step is important because baking powder must be evenly spread through the flour. If it is not mixed well the bread may rise unevenly.
Step three add wet ingredients
Pour the milk into the bowl slowly. Add the oil or melted butter next. Use a spoon to mix until a soft dough forms. The dough should look slightly sticky but not wet. If it feels too dry add one tablespoon of milk at a time. If it feels too wet add a little flour.
Step four bring the dough together
Use your hands to gently bring the dough into a ball. Do not knead hard. Just press and fold lightly for about one minute. Overworking the dough can make the bread dense. The goal is a soft smooth ball that holds together.
Step five shape the bread
Place the dough on a lightly floured surface. Shape it into a round flat disc about one inch thick. You can also divide the dough into smaller pieces if you want individual flat breads. Shape them gently without pressing too much.
Step six cook the bread
Heat a non stick pan or skillet on medium heat. Do not add oil to the pan. Place the dough carefully into the pan. Cover with a lid and cook for about five minutes. Flip the bread and cook the other side for another five minutes. The bread should turn golden and sound hollow when tapped.
Step seven check doneness
Press the center gently. If it feels firm and springs back it is ready. If it feels soft and doughy cook for another one to two minutes on low heat. Avoid high heat because it can burn the outside while leaving the inside raw.
Step eight rest and serve
Remove the bread from the pan and let it rest for two minutes. This helps the texture settle. Slice and serve warm. Enjoy plain or with butter honey or your favorite spread.
