For 8 servings:<\/p>\n
– Flour: 260g
\n– Sugar: 5g
\n– Baking Powder: 5g
\n– Salt: 5g
\n– Water: 180ml
\n– Olive Oil: 1 tablespoon<\/p>\n
1. **Dough Preparation**<\/p>\n
In a mixing bowl or a stand mixer bowl, combine the flour, salt, sugar, and baking powder. Gradually add warm water and olive oil and mix until a smooth dough forms.<\/p>\n
2. **Dough Resting**<\/p>\n
Shape the dough into a ball. Place it in a greased deep container and cover it to let the dough rest for at least 1 hour.<\/p>\n
3. **Forming the Breads**<\/p>\n
Stretch and fold the dough back into a ball and divide it into 8 to 10 equal parts, each shaped into a ball. Set them on a greased flat surface and let them rise for 15 minutes. After rising, flatten each ball on a floured flat surface to form disks.<\/p>\n
Heat a non-stick skillet and cook each disk for 1 to 2 minutes on each side, until the bread puffs up slightly during cooking.<\/p>\n\n\n
