1. What makes flatbread flaky?
The lamination process—layering fat between thin dough sheets—creates steam during cooking, separating layers and forming flakiness.
2. Can I make this without butter?
Yes. You can use vegetable oil, olive oil, or even margarine. However, butter or ghee gives the richest flavor.
3. Why is my flatbread tough?
Over-kneading or insufficient resting can make dough tight. Also, cooking on very high heat dries it out.
4. Can I use whole wheat flour?
Yes, but layers may be slightly denser. Try half whole wheat and half all-purpose for balance.
5. Is this similar to puff pastry?
Not exactly. Puff pastry requires cold butter and oven baking, while this is stovetop laminated flatbread.
