Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups All Purpose Flour or any white flour
  • ½ cup Milk
  • ½ cup water
  • ¼ cup Additional water Optional
  • 2 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • 1 tablespoon Sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Yeast
  • 1 cup Flour For rolling the dough

Instructions
 

  • Add the milk, ½ cup of water and yeast in a large cup. Mix it together
  • In a separate large bowl, add the flour, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt and sugar.
  • Add the yeast mixture into the dry ingredients. Use your hand to mix it together. Later, add additional ¼ cup of water to help mix and knead the dough. Keep kneading until the dough become soft and smooth. By that time, the dough will not stick to your hand.
  • Add 1 more tablespoon of olive oil. Knead again for 30 seconds. This will give a very fluffy and smooth dough.
  • Cover the dough with plastic and then a round plate. Leave it for 1 to 2 hours
  • Once the dough grow, transfer into a clean and empty table. Make sure the table is dry and add few drops of flour to prevent the dough sticking to it.
  • Use your hand to roll the dough into a long cylindrical shape. Use a knife to divide into 8 to 10 pieces. Shape each pieces into a ball.
  • Add few drops of flour on the table before rolling each pieces of ball. Stroke the ball gently using the rolling pin to help make a nice circle flatbread.
  • In a skillet or pan, turn on the fire on low or medium-low heat. Put the flatbread in the pan, and let it heat for 30 to 45 seconds or until it start to puff up.
  • Once it started to puff up, flip it and heat that side for 30 to 45 seconds
  • Transfer each flatbread into a plate. Cover it with warm towel to make sure bread remains warm and soft. Repeat the process of the rest of the flatbread.
  • Serve with sandwiches or any desired dish

Notes

  • Avoid mixing the yeast with hot water or hot milk since this will kill the yeast and slow down the growth of the dough
  • Avoid using sea salt since a salty dough will weaken the effect of the yeast
  • This flatbread can be stored into the freezer for up to 2 months.
