Follow numbered steps for authentic taste and perfectionWhisk flour, salt, and baking powder in a large bowl.
Make a well in the center and slowly add 2/3 cup water, mixing with your hands or a wooden spoon, until a shaggy dough forms.
Knead dough in bowl until smooth and elastic, about 4 minutes.
Transfer dough to a clean work surface.
Wipe out bowl and grease lightly with oil.
Return dough to bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let rest 30 minutes.
Turn out dough onto a clean work surface.
Using a bench scraper or large knife, cut into 6 equal pieces.
Shape into balls, cover, and let rest 15 minutes more.
Grease a large cookie sheet or the underside of a rimmed baking sheet with 1 Tbsp. butter.
Line another rimmed baking sheet with parchment.
Place 1 piece of dough on prepared cookie sheet.
Pat down to a flat oval with your fingertips, then smear 2 Tbsp. butter over dough.
Press and slide dough outward with your fingertips, stretching to a very thin oval, about 12x10".
Starting at 1 long end, roll dough over itself to create a long tube about 1" wide; flatten slightly.
Starting at 1 short end, roll into a coil like a jelly roll.
Transfer to parchment-lined sheet; cover with a kitchen towel.
Repeat with remaining dough.
Freeze, covered, 15 minutes.
Working one at a time, turn coil on its side and flatten to a disc with your palm.
Using a rolling pin, roll into a rough oval about 8x4".
Transfer to freezer.
Repeat with remaining coils and freeze until ready to use.
Heat 1 Tbsp. butter in a griddle or large nonstick skillet over medium-high.
Add 2 pieces of dough, reduce heat to medium, and cook flatbread until bottom is golden brown with large bubbles forming underneath, about 3 minutes.
Flip and continue to cook until second side is golden brown, about 1 minute more.
Repeat with remaining dough, adding 1 Tbsp. butter before each batch.
