  3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until soft and slightly sticky.

  6. Roll each ball into an 8-inch circle and set aside, dusting with flour.
  7. Heat a frying pan over medium heat, cook each flatbread for 4-5 minutes, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
  8. Brush warm flatbreads with melted butter and cover with a towel while cooking the remaining dough.
