    Preparation Steps

    1

    Sift the corn flour into a large mixing bowl, then add the salt and baking powder and whisk to combine.

    2

    Gradually pour in the hot water while mixing with a wooden spoon until a smooth dough forms.

    3

    Add the olive oil, then knead the dough by hand for 5-7 minutes until it becomes elastic and pliable.

    4

    Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let it rest for 15 minutes to allow the flour to absorb the moisture.

    5

    Divide the dough into equal-sized balls, then roll them out into thin, round flatbreads.

    6

    Heat a dry skillet over medium heat, then cook the flatbreads for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown spots appear.

    7

    Serve warm, either with dips or filled with meat or vegetable fillings.
