What goes in

• 2 cupswhole wheat flour
• ⅔ cupwarm water
• 9.9 mlvegetable oil
• salt

How to cook it

1. Combine the whole wheat flour, warm water, most of the vegetable oil, and salt in a large bowl, stirring first with a fork and then mixing by hand until a cohesive dough ball forms.
2. Knead the dough on a clean work surface for 10 minutes until smooth and pliable, then return it to the bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rest for 30 minutes.
3. Shape the rested dough into a 12-inch log, divide it into 6 equal pieces, and roll each piece out into a thin, roughly 7-inch circle.
4. Rub the remaining vegetable oil over a cast-iron skillet and heat it over medium-high heat until hot.
5. Place one dough circle into the hot skillet and cook for 30 seconds until bubbles begin to puff across the surface.
6. Flip the flatbread and cook for another 30 seconds until golden-brown spots form on the underside, then transfer to a cloth napkin to keep warm while cooking the remaining dough circles.
