🥗Healthier: olive oil

Olive oil is healthier, while butter is often less expensive.

In a mixing bowl, add 1 cup of whole wheat flour.

Optionally, add salt to the flour (not mentioned in the video).

Gradually add water while kneading the dough until it is neither too soft nor too hard.

Knead the dough for 3 to 4 minutes until it is smooth and pliable.

Add 1/2 teaspoon of refined oil to the dough and knead again for a few minutes.

Cover the dough and let it rest for 10 to 15 minutes.

After resting, divide the dough into equal portions and shape each portion into a ball.

Dust the dough balls with dry flour on both sides.

Roll out each ball into a medium-sized circle using a rolling pin.

Heat a skillet over medium heat until hot.

Place the rolled-out dough onto the hot skillet.

Cook until the top starts to become transparent and bubbles form on the surface.

Flip the bread and cook the other side until it browns slightly.

Press down gently on the bread to help it puff up.

Once puffed and golden brown, remove from the skillet.
