In a mixing bowl, add 3 cups of all-purpose flour, 3 teaspoons of baking powder, and a pinch of salt; mix until just combined.

Gradually add 1 cup of lukewarm water while mixing until a soft dough forms.

Scrape the sides of the bowl to incorporate all the flour.

Add about 1 teaspoon of oil on the surface of the dough and knead for 3 to 4 minutes until smooth.

Coat the surface of the dough with oil, cover with a kitchen towel, and let it rest for 10 to 15 minutes.

Divide the dough into three pieces and shape each into a smooth ball.

Roll each ball into a disc roughly half an inch thick on a lightly floured surface.

Place the rolled dough onto a well-heated towel for 30 to 40 seconds until bubbles form.

Flip the dough and cook for 1 minute on the other side.

Flip once more and wait until the dough begins to puff up; then slide it over an open flame, rotating until fully puffed up.
