3 cups flour (preferably high-quality bread flour)
1 tbsp instant yeast
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp salt
About 1 cup warm water (adjust as needed)
1 tbsp oil (optional, for softer dough)
Method:
-
In a bowl, mix the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt.
-
Gradually add the water while kneading until you get a soft, smooth dough. Adjust with a little more water or flour if needed.
-
Add the oil (if using) and knead it into the dough.
-
Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for 30–45 minutes, or until it doubles in size.
-
After rising, shape the dough into medium balls or pieces and roll them into relatively thin circles.
-
Heat a heavy pan or griddle over medium-high heat.
-
Place the dough pieces on the hot pan, letting them puff up and lightly brown on both sides.
-
Once cooked with slight golden spots, remove from the pan and serve warm with your favorite dishes
