Step 1: Activate the Dough

In a large bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast.

Let it sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.

Step 2: Make the Dough

Add:

Mix until a shaggy dough forms.

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface.

Knead for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl.

Cover with a clean towel or plastic wrap.

Let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Punch down the dough.

Divide it into 8 equal pieces.

Roll each piece into a ball.

Let them rest for 10 minutes.

Using a rolling pin, roll each dough ball into a circle about 7–8 inches (18–20 cm) wide.

Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat.

Place one flatbread in the dry pan.

Cook for 2–3 minutes until bubbles appear.

Flip and cook another 2 minutes until golden brown with light charred spots.

Repeat with the remaining dough.

Brush each warm flatbread with melted butter for extra softness and flavor.

Stack them under a clean kitchen towel to keep them warm and tender.

Enjoy these flatbreads with:

Use warm—not hot—water to activate the yeast.
Cover cooked flatbreads with a towel to keep them soft.
Freeze cooled flatbreads for up to 2 months. Reheat in a skillet or microwave before serving.
Add minced garlic or chopped herbs to the butter for extra flavor.

These homemade skillet flatbreads are soft, fluffy, and incredibly versatile—perfect for any meal! 🫓✨
