Steps

  1. Place the flour in a large bowl and stir in the baking powder and salt.
  2. Add the oil and most of the water. Mix, gradually adding the rest of the water until you have picked up all of the flour and formed a rough dough. You may not need to add all of the water.
  3. Turn the dough out onto an unfloured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until it is smooth and elastic and has formed a smooth skin. It should be slightly sticky at first but become less so as you knead. If it is still too sticky you can add a little bit more flour as needed.
  4. Cover the dough with a clean tea towel and set aside to rest for 15 minutes.
  5. Divide the dough into 8 even pieces (I use a scale for accuracy) and shape each piece into a ball.
  6. On a floured surface, roll one of the balls of dough out into a thin round about 20-22cm (8in) wide. Keep the other balls of dough covered with the tea towel to prevent them from drying out.
  7. Place a large, heavy bottomed frying pan over a medium-high heat and brush it with a little oil.
  8. Once the pan is hot, flip the round into the pan and cook for about 1-2 minutes until the underside is browned in spots. The bread should puff up as it cooks.
  9. Flip the bread over and cook for about another minute until that side is browned as well. Press down on it gently with a spatula if it puffs up too much to cook evenly.
  10. Repeat with the rest of the balls of dough, oiling the pan as needed. With practice you will be able to get into a system of rolling one flatbread out while the previous one cooks.
  11. Once cool keep the flatbreads well wrapped to prevent them from going stale.
