Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix the flour and salt.
  2. Add the lukewarm water little by little while kneading until you get a smooth, supple dough that no longer sticks to your fingers.
  3. Divide the dough into 4 balls, then flatten each one into a disc about 1 cm thick.
  4. Heat a thick-bottomed pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
  5. Cook each flatbread for 3 to 4 minutes per side, until golden and marked with brown spots.
  6. Serve right away, nice and hot, breaking it by hand.

Variations and tips

Ember version. Cook the flatbreads directly on a cast-iron plate set over embers, for a smoky flavour.
