    Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
    3               cups  all-purpose flour -- King Arthur Unbleached
    2          teaspoons  baking powder
    1 1/2      teaspoons  salt
    3        tablespoons  olive oil -- or vegetable oil
    1                cup  ice water
    2        tablespoons  vegetble oil -- to 3T,  for frying

Dairy-free

Hands-on time:  30 mins. to 40 mins.
Total time:  40 mins. to 50 mins.

1) Place the flour, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl 
and stir to combine.

2) Add the oil and ice water, and mix to make a soft, cohesive dough. 
Adjust with flour or water as needed. The dough should be moist but 
not sticky. Cover with plastic wrap, and let rest for 10 minutes.

3) Preheat a heavy-bottomed skillet on the stovetop. Add 1 tablespoon 
oil and heat until the oil starts to shimmer in the pan.

4) Divide the dough into 10 to 12 equal pieces. Each piece should 
weigh about 1 1/2 to 2 oz, about the size of a large egg. Dredge each 
piece in flour, and roll to a rough circle or oval, about 1/4" thick. 
OR hand shape the pieces by flattening between your palms.

5) In batches, fry the flatbreads in the hot oil for 2 to 3 minutes, 
or until golden brown. Flip and fry on the second side for another 2 
minutes. Transfer from the pan to a rack to cool slightly before 
serving. Add more oil as needed for frying successive batches.

Yield: 10 to 12 flatbreads.

Tips From Our Bakers:
Rye variation : Replace 1 cup of the all-purpose flour with 1 cup 
Perfect Rye Flour Blend and 2 teaspoons Deli Rye Flavor. All other 
ingredients remain the same. Serve with cream cheese, chives, tomato, 
thinly sliced onion and capers.

Pizza bread version: Add 2 teaspoons Pizza Dough Flavor and 2 
teaspoons dried Italian herbs or Pizza Seasoning to the flour 
mixture. Serve with marinara sauce for dipping.
