Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

• All-purpose flour

• Baking powder

• Salt

• Olive oil or melted butter

• Water or milk

• Optional: garlic powder, dried herbs, shredded cheese

Directions

1. I whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl.

2. I add olive oil and water, then stir until a soft dough forms.

3. I divide the dough into 4–6 pieces and roll each one into a thin circle or oval.

4. I heat a skillet over medium heat and cook each piece for 1–2 minutes per side until golden spots appear and the bread puffs slightly.

5. I brush with butter or sprinkle with herbs before serving warm.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes about 4–6 flatbreads and takes just 10 minutes from start to finish.

Variations

• I sometimes mix in garlic powder or Italian seasoning for extra flavor.

• Swapping water for milk makes the bread softer and richer.

• I’ve added shredded cheese to the dough for a cheesy version.

• A sprinkle of sesame seeds or sea salt on top adds a nice finish.

Storage/Reheating

I store leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To reheat, I warm it in a skillet or microwave for 15–20 seconds. It also freezes well—I wrap individual pieces and thaw as needed.

FAQs

Is this bread soft or crispy?

It’s soft and flexible, like a flatbread or wrap—perfect for folding or tearing.

Yes, I use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend, though the texture may be slightly different.

Do I need a rolling pin?

No, I often press the dough flat with my hands or a glass if I don’t have a rolling pin handy.

Can I bake it instead of pan-frying?

Yes, I bake at 400°F (200°C) for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway, but the skillet gives a better texture.

I love pairing it with soups, salads, dips, or using it as a base for wraps and personal pizzas.
