Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ¾ teaspoon table salt
  • ½ cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons olive or vegetable oil plus more for the skillet

Instructions
 

  • Whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl.
  • Pour in the milk and 2 tablespoons oil, and stir just until everything is combined and no large dry patches remain.
  • Use your hands to gather the dough into a ball, kneading lightly if necessary to get it to come together.
  • Cover with a damp towel or plastic wrap and let it rest for 10 minutes.
  • Divide the dough into 4 pieces and roll each piece into a disc. Don't stress too much about the shape, just aim for something that is sort of oval-shaped.
  • Heat 2 teaspoons of oil in a cast iron skillet over medium heat. Working with one flatbread at a time, add it to the skillet and cook, flipping once, until golden brown on each side, about 2 minutes per side. Repeat with the remaining pieces of dough, adding more oil to the skillet for each batch. Reduce the heat if the dough begins to burn or is too dark in spots.
  • Serve warm.

Notes

  • It's ok if your dough still looks a little dry after mixing. It will hydrate as it rests.
  • If made with non-dairy milk, this recipe is suitable for dairy-free and vegan diets.
