Instructions

Mix the flour with the salt in a bowl, then gradually pour in the lukewarm water while stirring to get a smooth, pourable batter.
Let the batter rest for 15 minutes at room temperature so the flour fully hydrates.
Heat a nonstick pan over medium-high heat and lightly oil it.
Pour a ladleful of batter and spread it thinly into a round, then cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the edges lift and the top looks dry.
Flip the flatbread and cook for 1 more minute, then slide it onto a plate and repeat with the remaining batter.
