Method
Mix the dough
- Mix the flour and salt; add the oil and warm water.
- Knead 5 minutes to a soft smooth dough.
Rest
- Cover and rest 20 minutes so the dough is easier to roll thin.
Shape

- Roll each into a thin round on a lightly floured surface.
Cook
- Heat a dry heavy pan over medium-high heat.
- Cook each bread 1–2 minutes per side until puffed and spotted brown.
- Stack under a clean cloth while you finish the batch so they stay soft.
Serving
Serve warm with dips, stews or grilled meats. Wrap in a cloth to keep soft.
