Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup warm water
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp oil
  • 3 tbsp melted butter
  • Extra flour for rolling

Method

  1. Make dough: Mix flour and salt. Add warm water and oil, then knead for 7–8 minutes until soft and smooth.
  2. Cover and rest for 30 minutes.
  3. Divide into 6 balls. Roll each very thin.
  4. Brush generously with melted butter, then fold/roll the dough into a layered ball. Rest 10 minutes.
  5. Roll each ball gently into a round flatbread.
  6. Heat a pan over medium heat. Cook each bread for 2–3 minutes per side, brushing with a little butter until golden brown spots appear.
  7. Stack them and cover with a clean towel to keep them soft.

Tip: For the flaky layers like in the photo, don’t skip the butter and resting time.
