Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups flour
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp water

Directions:

  1. Dump everything (except the 2 tablespoons water) into a bowl and stir it into a gooey stuff as Jacques says. The dough will indeed be very wet, gooey, sticky. Stir in any optional ingredients.
  2. Heat a non-stick 10 skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Pour about a tablespoon of olive oil into the pan and then pour in the dough.
  3. Spread into one flat layer with a spoon or spatula. (A little oil on the spoon or spatula helps keep the dough from sticking to it.)
  4. Add a tablespoon or two of water around the outside of the dough where it meets the pan; the object is to create steam to help cook the bread. Cover the pan with a lid and cook 8-10 minutes. Peek at the bottom of the bread about half way through the first 8-10 minutes just to make sure the bottom isn't burning. You want good color, but not charcoal! Adjust the temperature accordingly.
  5. After 8-10 minute flip the bread and re-cover the pan so that it cooks on the other side, 5 minutes.
  6. It tastes best if eaten while warm.
