Stovetop flatbread is a simple, soft bread cooked on a pan or griddle—no oven needed. It’s perfect for wraps, dips, or as a side for curries and salads. 🫓
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- ½ tsp Salt
- ¾ cup Water (adjust as needed)
- 2 tbsp Olive oil (optional, for softer texture)
Instructions
1. Make the Dough
- In a bowl, mix flour and salt.
- Gradually add water (and oil if using) and knead until smooth and elastic (~5–7 minutes).
- Cover and let rest for 15–20 minutes.
2. Shape the Flatbreads
- Divide dough into 6–8 equal portions.
- Roll each portion into a thin circle or oval, about ¼ inch thick.
3. Cook on the Stovetop
- Heat a non-stick skillet or cast-iron pan over medium-high heat.
- Place one flatbread on the hot pan; cook 1–2 minutes until bubbles form.
- Flip and cook another 1–2 minutes until lightly golden and cooked through.
- Repeat with remaining flatbreads.
4. Serve
- Serve warm with butter, dips, or use as a wrap for sandwiches.
Optional Flavor Variations
- Add Garlic powder or Chopped parsley to the dough.
- Brush with Butter or Ghee after cooking for extra flavor.
✅ Tip: Make sure the pan is hot enough so the flatbread puffs slightly and develops a light golden color, but not so hot that it burns.
