3. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth; cover and let rise in a warm place for 20 minutes.
4. Divide the dough into 6 equal balls, flatten each into a disc about 1 cm thick.
5. Heat a non‑stick skillet or griddle over medium heat; cook each disc for 2‑3 minutes per side until golden spots appear and the bread is cooked through.
