Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix the soybean flour, wheat flour and salt.
  2. Gradually add the lukewarm water while kneading until you get a soft, smooth dough.
  3. Cover and let it rest for 15 minutes so the flour hydrates.
  4. Divide the dough into 6 to 8 balls and flatten them by hand or with a rolling pin on a floured surface into discs about 3 mm thick.
  5. Heat a pan over medium-high heat and cook the flatbreads 2 to 3 minutes per side, until golden spots appear.
  6. Brush with a little oil as they come off the pan and serve warm.

Variations and tips

With what's available here. Soybean flour is sold in organic or Asian shops; otherwise replace it with 50 g of chickpea flour for a similar result.
