Easy No-Yeast Flatbread
Description
The Easy No-Yeast Flatbread relies on a simple dough of all-purpose flour, kosher salt, and warm water mixed to a lumpy consistency then kneaded until smooth. A brief resting period allows the flour to hydrate, resulting in dough that is easier to roll out into thin circles. Cooking on a hot nonstick pan over medium heat produces flatbreads with bubbling and golden brown spots on both sides, signalling even cooking.
The finished bread is soft but sturdy enough to hold fillings or be served alongside dips and spreads. Wrapping the flatbreads in a kitchen towel after cooking keeps them warm and preserves their softness.
Key tips include controlling the heat to avoid burning while ensuring thorough cooking, watching for bubbles that indicate readiness to flip, and gentle handling when flipping to prevent tearing the thin bread. Leftovers can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container and reheated gently before serving.
Ingredients
- 3½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1½ cups water warm
Instructions
- Mix the flour, salt and water in a bowl using a wooden spoon so you have a lumpy wet dough. Knead for a few minutes using your hands until the dough comes together And is smooth.
- Cover and rest for 15 minutes.
- Transfer the dough onto a floured surface. Divide the dough into 8 pieces.
- Heat a nonstick pan over medium high heat. Roll out the dough balls into flatbreads, about 1/8 inch or thinner.
- Cook over medium heat for 5-6 minutes on each side until bread bubbles up and becomes golden brown.
- Keep the flatbreads wrapped in kitchen towel to keep them soft.
Notes
- Allow the dough to rest for 15 minutes after mixing to hydrate the flour and improve elasticity.
- Preheat the cooking surface over medium heat to avoid burning while ensuring the bread cooks properly.
- Watch for bubbles on the flatbread as a cue to flip it carefully to avoid tears.
- Keep cooked flatbreads wrapped in a clean kitchen towel to maintain softness and warmth.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for later use.
