What's inside

Stovetop Flatbread

Make soft, flexible flatbreads in a skillet when you need a quick base for a meal or a side for soup, curry, or dips.

⏱ 30 min★ Easy
Target

No dough has been mixed, and there are no flatbreads ready to serve.

Obstacle

The dough can feel sticky or dry if the water is added too quickly. Uneven thickness can also leave some breads pale while others scorch.

Expectation

You have warm, lightly browned flatbreads that bend without cracking.
