Just Flour and Water Flatbreads (Oh, and Salt…)

Step 1

Combine the flour and salt with a quick whisk. Add the water, and mix until all the water is incorporated. Take the flatbreads out onto a clean surface, and knead until it’s smooth. Return the dough to the bowl, and let the gluten relax for at least 30 minutes.

Step 2

Place a skillet on the stove, and heat it until very warm. Divide the dough into six even pieces. Use a rolling pin or just your hands to flatten or stretch the dough until it is fairly thin. When the skillet is piping hot, place the dough onto the skillet. After 30 seconds to a minute, when the dough has puffed up or darkened on the bottom, flip the bread over. Cook for another couple minutes. Repeat with all the remaining dough.
