Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted, for brushing)
- 0.25 cup extra flour (for dusting)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, and salt.
Step 2
Gradually add the coconut milk while mixing. Continue to mix until the dough starts to come together.
Step 3
Add the vegetable oil and knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Step 4
Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let the dough rest for 30 minutes.
Step 5
After resting, divide the dough into 8 equal pieces and roll each piece into a ball.
Step 6
On a floured surface, roll out each ball into a thin circle, about 6 inches in diameter.
Step 7
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Place one rolled-out flatbread onto the skillet.
Step 8
Cook for about 1-2 minutes on the first side until bubbles start to form and the underside is golden brown.
Step 9
Flip the flatbread and cook for another 1-2 minutes on the other side.
Step 10
Remove the cooked flatbread and immediately brush it with melted butter.
Step 11
Repeat with the remaining dough balls, stacking the finished flatbreads and keeping them covered with a clean towel to stay warm.
Step 12
Serve warm as a side to your favorite Thai dishes or enjoy on their own.
