How to Make Oregano Flatbreads (Easy Homemade Bread Recipe)
Step 1: In a large bowl, combine the flour, water and salt. Mix and knead with your hands until a smooth and soft dough forms.
Step 2: Add the oregano and continue kneading until the herbs are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Step 3: Lightly flour a work surface. Divide the dough into 10 equal portions and shape each portion into a ball. Using a rolling pin, gently flatten each ball into a thin round disc.
Step 4: Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat until very hot. Place the breads on the pan and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until lightly golden. The breads should be soft inside and lightly crisp on the outside.
Cooking Tips for Perfect Oregano Flatbreads
Don't overwork the dough, knead it only until smooth. Over-kneading can make the breads tougher instead of soft and flexible.
Use warm water to create a softer dough texture and makes the flatbreads easier to roll.
Let the dough rest for 10 to 15-minutes. Let the dough rest before rolling helps relax the gluten and improves texture.
Cooking on a very hot pan or cast-iron skillet creates light golden spots and enhances the flavor.
