Preparation of Semi Whole Wheat Flatbread without Lard

Let’s see how to prepare the flatbreads.
In a bowl, put the water, add the oil, half of the flour, the baking powder, and the salt, start mixing with your hands, then add the rest of the flour and continue to mix. Pour the dough onto a floured work surface and continue kneading for at least 10 minutes, it should be nice and smooth. Cover with the bowl and let rest for 20 minutes.

After the time has passed, take the dough and work it into a cylinder, cut it into 6 parts using a spatula, form balls, and roll out the balls with a rolling pin to a thickness of 2/3 millimeters, heat a pan and put a flatbread in it, cook for 2/3 minutes on each side, put the ready flatbread on a plate, continue with the other flatbreads. To keep the flatbreads soft without breaking, either cover them immediately with a lid to create humidity or brush them with water once cooked. At this point, you can fill the flatbreads as you like, I filled mine with lettuce, mozzarella, and Milanese salami.
