Ingredients and Tools

  • Oil
  • Flour
  • Electric griddle

Measurements

  • Flour = 400g
  • Hot water = 130ml (80 degrees)
  • Cold water = 130ml

Steps

  • Pour 400g flour into a bowl, use cold water for half of the flour and hot water for the other half, mix into shaggy dough, and knead into a ball. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest for 40 minutes.
  • When there are 10 minutes left in the resting time, check the tips for the oil paste method (hot oil paste works better).
  • Do not knead the rested dough; just press it lightly, then cut it into four portions with one horizontal cut and one vertical cut.
  • Round each piece, roll it out to about the size of the electric griddle, take 1/4 of the oil paste and spread it evenly over the surface of the dough.
  • Cut along the radius of the dough, roll it from the outer edge into a cone, then pinch the tail of the cone to prevent the oil paste from leaking.
  • Press the tip of the dough cone to flatten it, then roll it out again to about the size of the electric griddle (about 3mm thick).
  • Preheat the electric griddle and brush with cold oil (hot pan, cold oil), place the rolled dough onto the griddle, brush a little oil on top as well and spread evenly (to lock in moisture), and cover with the lid.
  • Cook over high heat for 1 minute, open the lid, flip the dough, and cook for another 1 minute.
  • Repeat the above steps to finish cooking the flatbread.
