Simple Oil and Salt Flatbread
60% authentic · Mediterranean-inspired
A very basic flatbread made with flour, water, salt, and oil, cooked until golden and slightly crisp. This is a simplified version of many traditional flatbreads, focusing on minimal ingredients.

- All-purpose flour2 cups
- Water3/4 cup
- Salt1 tsp
- Cooking oil2 tbsp (for dough) + more for cooking
- Black pepperoptional, to taste
Steps
- 1
In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center.
- 2
Pour the water and 2 tbsp of cooking oil into the well. Mix with a spoon or your hands until a shaggy dough forms.

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a food processor with a dough hook attachment for about 3-5 minutes.

Divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball.

On a lightly floured surface, roll out each ball into a thin circle, about 6-8 inches in diameter. If desired, sprinkle with black pepper.
- 6
Heat a generous amount of cooking oil in a large skillet or flat griddle over medium-high heat.
- 7
Carefully place one flatbread into the hot oil. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and puffed in places. Add more oil as needed for subsequent flatbreads.
