Follow numbered steps for authentic taste and perfectionWhisk kosher salt and 3 cups flour in a large bowl.
Drizzle in melted butter; mix well.
Gradually mix in 3/4 cup water.
Knead on a lightly floured surface until dough is shiny and very soft, about 5 minutes.
Wrap in plastic; let rest in a warm spot at least 4 hours.
Divide dough into 10 pieces and, using your palm, roll into balls.
Place balls on a baking sheet, cover with plastic wrap, and let rest 15 minutes.
Roll dough into thin rounds, brush with room-temperature butter, and roll up into ropes (see step-by-step instructions, below).
Working with 1 coil at a time, roll out on an unfloured surface to 10" rounds no more than 1/8" thick.
Stack as you go, separating with sheets of parchment brushed with oil.
Heat a large cast-iron griddle or skillet over medium-high heat.
Working 1 at a time, brush both sides of a dough round with room-temperature butter and cook until lightly blistered and cooked through, about 2 minutes per side.
Transfer bread to a wire rack and sprinkle with sea salt.
DO AHEAD: Coils can be rolled out 1 month ahead; wrap tightly and freeze.
Cook from frozen (add 1–2 minutes to cooking time).
