🧾 Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp sugar (optional, helps softness)
- 2 tbsp oil or melted butter
- ¾ cup warm milk (or water)
- 3 tbsp soft butter (for layering)
👩🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Make the dough
In a bowl, mix flour, salt, and sugar. Add oil and warm milk.
Mix and knead 4–5 minutes until soft and smooth.
Cover and rest 20 minutes (very important for softness).
2️⃣ Create layers
Divide dough into 6 balls.
Roll each ball into a thin circle.
Spread a thin layer of soft butter over the surface.
Cut one slit from center to edge and roll into a cone.
Tuck the end under to form a ball.
Cover and rest 10 minutes.
3️⃣ Roll & cook
Roll each ball gently into a 6–7 inch circle.
Heat a pan on medium.
Cook each flatbread 40–60 seconds per side until golden spots appear.
Brush with butter while hot.
4️⃣ Fluff the layers
Lightly crush each flatbread between your hands to separate layers.
