Description
This simple recipe for unleavened bread uses only four ingredients—flour, oil, salt, and water—to create a tender, golden flatbread perfect for Communion, Passover, or daily meals.
Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour
⅓ cup vegetable or olive oil
⅛ teaspoon salt
⅓ cup water
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a bowl, mix flour and salt.
3. Add oil gradually and mix until crumbly.
4. Slowly add water until a soft dough forms.
5. Knead for 3 minutes until smooth.
6. Divide into 6 pieces, roll into balls, and flatten into thin disks.
7. Place disks on the baking sheet and bake 8–10 minutes or until golden.
8. For softer bread, brush with olive oil immediately after baking.
Notes
For a softer texture, use a bit more oil and water, and wrap the bread in a towel after baking.
For crispier bread, roll thinner and bake slightly longer.
You can substitute whole wheat flour for added fiber and flavor.
Best served warm with soup, honey, or olive oil.
