1. 1. Prepare the Dry Ingredients:
      • • Place 11.5 ounces (320 grams) of all-purpose flour or bread flour in a bowl.
        • Add 1 teaspoon baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt, and stir everything together.

   3. Mix and Knead the Dough:
      • • Mix well with a spoon.
      • Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the dough and knead with your hands. If the dough is too sticky, add some more flour.
   4. Rest the Dough:
      • • Grease a baking dish with olive oil.
      • Roll the dough into a roll and divide into 8 parts.
      • Roll each piece into a ball and place in the baking dish. Brush with olive oil, cover, and leave to rest for 30 minutes.

1. 1. Prepare the Garlic Mixture:
      • In a small container, mix 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of flour.
      • Add a little black pepper and 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, and mix everything well.

1. 1. Shape the Flatbreads:
      • • Grease the counter with olive oil and roll out each ball of dough to about 6 inches (15 cm) in diameter.
        • Brush the dough with the garlic mixture.
        • Cut the dough and roll it into a cone shape. Press the edges together and flatten slightly with your hand.
      • Repeat these steps with the rest of the dough.
      • Place the prepared dough in a baking dish, cover, and let rest for another 15 minutes.

1. Roll and Fry the Flatbreads:
   • • Roll out each flatbread to 7 inches (18 cm) in diameter with a rolling pin before frying.
     • Heat a frying pan over medium heat and grease it with oil.
     • Place a flatbread in the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes. Brush the top side with oil, then turn it over and cook for another 2 minutes, until golden brown.
   • Repeat with the remaining flatbreads.
