Method

6 steps · 1h 11m

01
Combine Dry Ingredients
Sieve the 1 cup flour into a large bowl. Add the 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, then stir to combine. Pour in the 1 tablespoon oil and mix until the flour looks crumbly.
02
Knead the Dough
Gradually add a splash of water, a little at a time, bringing the mixture together into a shaggy dough. Transfer it to a clean work surface and knead for about 10 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
03
Let the Dough Rise
Place the kneaded dough back in the bowl, cover it tightly with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel, and set it aside in a warm spot. Let it rise until it has visibly increased in size, which should take around 60 minutes.
04
Shape the Dough
Once the dough has risen, transfer it to a lightly floured work surface. Divide it into 4 equal pieces (since the recipe serves 4).
Roll each piece into a round, aiming for a consistent thickness. A plate or pot lid can help guide you to a good circular shape.
05
Cook the Bread
Heat a dry pan over medium-high heat until it's quite hot. Place one round of dough onto the hot pan. Cook for about 1-2 minutes on the first side, until you see bubbles forming and the dough starts to puff up. Flip it over and cook for another 1-2 minutes, until it's fully puffed and lightly browned in spots.
06
Rest and Pocket
As each bread finishes cooking, transfer it to a warm spot, like a plate covered with a clean towel. The residual heat will help it fully form its internal pocket, making it ready for filling.
