Flaky Buttery Flatbread

Ingredients:

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 cup warm water
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or melted butter (for the dough)
• Softened butter (for layering)
• Additional oil or butter (for frying)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Dough:
   • In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and sugar.
   • Gradually add warm water and vegetable oil or melted butter.
   • Knead until the dough is soft and smooth, about 8-10 minutes.
   • Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
2. Shape the Dough:
   • Divide the dough into equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.
   • Flatten each ball into a disk with your hands or a rolling pin.
3. Layer with Butter:
   • Spread a generous amount of softened butter on each disk.
   • Fold the disk to enclose the butter (e.g., fold into a triangle or roll it up, then flatten again).
4. Rest the Dough:
   • After buttering and folding, let the dough rest for another 10 minutes to relax the gluten.
5. Cook the Flatbreads:
   • Heat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat and grease lightly with oil or butter.
   • Cook each flatbread for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and flaky.
   • Press down gently with a spatula to ensure even cooking.
6. Serve:
   • Serve warm as a side dish or snack. These flatbreads are perfect with dips, soups, or even as a standalone treat.

Tips:

• Add herbs, garlic, or cheese to the butter layer for extra flavor.
• Adjust the thickness of the flatbreads to your preference; thinner ones will be crispier, while thicker ones will be softer and chewier.
