Ingredients:
- 2 cups water (400ml)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 4.5 to 5 cups flour (add gradually)
- 150g butter, or a mixture of 100g butter and 1/4 cup vegetable oil
Instructions:
- Mix water, salt, and flour to form a soft, non-sticky dough. Cover and let it rest for 20 minutes.
- Divide the dough into 8 balls, cover, and let them rest for an additional 10 minutes.
- Roll out each ball into a 30cm diameter circle, brush with melted butter, fold in half, and cut into thin strips. Twist and coil the strips into a spiral, placing them in a baking dish. Repeat with all dough balls.
- Cover the spirals and let them rest for at least 30 minutes (or refrigerate overnight).
- In the morning, flatten the spirals gently with your hand or a rolling pin. Cook in a dry skillet over low heat, flipping frequently, until golden and crispy.
Enjoy this Overnight No-Yeast Flaky Bread as a delightful start to your day, bringing the joy of homemade bread to your breakfast table with minimal fuss and maximum flavor.
