Water cakes without yeast

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 20 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make flatbreads using water without yeast? Very simple. Prepare the necessary ingredients. Take premium flour. You can use olive or sunflower oil for vegetable oil. But keep in mind that the oil you choose will slightly affect the flavor of the tortillas. I prefer aromatic unrefined sunflower oil.

2. STEP 2

   

   Pre-boil the water and cool slightly. Dissolve salt in hot water.

3. STEP 3

   

   Sift the flour into a bowl through a sieve. Please note that you may end up using more or less flour than I did. You can set a spoon or two aside to add as needed during the kneading process.

4. STEP 4

   

   Make a well in the flour and pour hot salted water and vegetable oil into it.

5. STEP 5

   

   Knead the dough first with a spoon while it is hot, and then, when it has cooled slightly, with your hands. At first the dough will stick to your hands, but as you knead, it will stop sticking. The dough should be elastic, soft and manageable, but at the same time slightly elastic. Focus not on the volume of flour, but on the consistency of the dough.

6. STEP 6

   

   Wrap the dough in a bag or cover with cling film to prevent it from airing, and let rest for 20 minutes.

7. STEP 7

   

   Divide the dough into 8 equal parts. I got pieces of 73-75 g. Roll each part into round balls.

8. STEP 8

   

   Cover the dough balls again with cling film and leave to rest for 5 minutes. While you are working with one piece of dough, the rest should remain under the film.

9. STEP 9

   

   Sprinkle the table well with flour so that the dough does not stick when rolling. Roll each ball into an even, thin round cake with a diameter of about 16-18 cm. Ideally, the diameter of the cakes should not exceed the diameter of the bottom of the pan in which they will be baked.

10. STEP 10

    

    Place the flatbread in a dry frying pan preheated over medium heat and fry until browned. Then turn over to the other side and fry until charred.

11. STEP 11

    

    Place the finished flatbreads on top of each other and serve immediately. To prevent the cakes from drying out, store them in a sealed bag for another 2 days. Bon appetit!

I made flatbreads using water without yeast as a substitute for bread. The result was flatbread, very similar to pita bread. The flatbreads bake very quickly in a dry frying pan; it was difficult to roll out the dough quickly and thinly. I fried the last flatbread in vegetable oil, it turned out crispy and also very tasty. Wonderful recipe, thanks!
