20 Minute Flatbread

Makes: 6 flatbreads
Cook Time: ~20 minutes

As I began my journey into self-care, cooking became a huge part of it. I made a quiet promise to myself: I would spare no cost and no effort when it came to feeding my body real, nourishing food. What surprised me most wasn’t just how much better I felt—but how simple it all was.

Many of the foods I assumed would take hours actually came together in minutes. As my confidence in the kitchen grew, so did my willingness to experiment. These flatbreads quickly became a staple—easy to make, endlessly versatile, and perfect for grab-and-go meals.

Why You’ll Love This Flatbread

  • Simple pantry ingredients

  • No yeast, no rising time

  • Soft, flexible, or crispy depending on cook time

  • Perfect for wraps, dips, or quick meals

Ingredients

  • 1 ¼ cups flour

  • ¾ teaspoon quality sea salt

  • 1 tablespoon oil of choice

  • ⅔ cup boiling water

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix together the flour and salt.

  2. Add the oil and boiling water, stirring until a dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a little extra flour.

  3. Lightly flour a chopping board and turn the dough out onto it.

  4. Knead for about 3 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic.

  5. Divide the dough into 6 equal balls.

  6. Flour the board again and roll each ball into a very thin circle, adding flour as needed to prevent sticking.

  7. Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat.

  8. Cook each flatbread for about 1 minute per side. You’ll see bubbles form and light browning appear.

  9. For a crispier flatbread, cook slightly longer.

  10. Remove from the pan, set aside to cool slightly, and serve.

How to Use Them
