Sift together 2.5 cups of all-purpose flour and 0.5 cups of whole wheat flour.

Add 1.5 teaspoons of salt and instant yeast to the flour mixture.

Mix the dry ingredients together.

Knead the dough until smooth and non-sticky.

Cover the dough with plastic wrap and let it rise for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

After 2 hours, divide the dough into 12 equal pieces.

Form each piece into a ball and let them rise for another 20 to 25 minutes.

Roll each ball into a long oval shape, as thin as possible.

Preheat the griddle to a high temperature.

Cook each rolled dough on the griddle for about 1 to 2 minutes on each side, adjusting the heat as necessary.

Drizzle water on both sides of the cooked bread and cover with a towel.
