• 3/4 cup warm water (adjust as needed)

Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, combine the following dry ingredients:

• Baking powder

Instructions

1. Mix the dry ingredients thoroughly until evenly combined.

Step 3: Add Wet Ingredients

Incorporate the wet ingredients into the dry mixture:

2. Gradually pour in the warm water.

Practical Advice

• Mix with a spoon or your hands until a dough forms.
• If the dough is too sticky, sprinkle a little more flour.

Step 4: Knead the Dough

Once your dough is formed, it's time to knead:

1. Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface.
2. Knead for about 3-5 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Tips to Avoid Common Pitfalls

• Avoid over-kneading, which can lead to tough bread.
• If the dough is too dry, add a tiny bit of water.

Step 5: Shape the Dough

After kneading, divide the dough into small balls:

1. Cut the dough into equal portions (about 6-8 pieces).
2. Roll each piece into a ball.

Practical Tips

• Keep the dough balls covered with a cloth to prevent drying.

Step 6: Cook the Flatbread

Now it’s time to cook your flatbread:

1. Heat a skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat.
2. Flatten each dough ball into a disc shape using your hands.
3. Place the disc into the hot skillet.

Cooking Instructions

• Cook for about 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown spots appear.

Step 7: Serve and Enjoy

Once cooked, remove the flatbread from the skillet and keep warm:

1. Serve with dips, as a wrap, or alongside your favorite dishes.
2. Enjoy fresh or store in an airtight container for later.
