Serving count not stated for this recipe, so quantities are shown as written.
Ingredients
- flour (1 cup), plus extra for dusting
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp oil, plus extra for cooking
- warm water (about 5 tbsp), as needed
Method
- Mix the flour, salt, sugar and baking powder in a bowl. Rub in the oil.
- Add the warm water a splash at a time, mixing to a soft dough, then knead for 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Cover and rest the dough for 20–30 minutes.
- Divide into 6 balls. Roll each one out on a lightly floured surface to a thin round about 7¾ in across.
- Heat a dry frying pan or griddle over medium-high heat. Cook each bread for 1–2 minutes per side until puffed and marked with golden spots, brushing very lightly with oil if you like.
- Wrap in a clean cloth to keep soft and use warm for shawarma wraps.
