Algerian Flatbread

This authentic Algerian flatbread is a wonderful introduction to North African baking, offering a fragrant and beautifully textured side dish. Made with finely ground whole-wheat flour and a trio of aromatic spices—cumin, turmeric, and sweet paprika—these breads are naturally vegan and incredibly satisfying. The secret lies in the clever shaping technique, where the dough is rolled with spiced oil and coiled into a spiral, creating delicate, flaky layers once toasted on a hot griddle.

Serve these warm flatbreads as a comforting accompaniment to spicy stews, tagines, or a simple bowl of homemade hummus. They are best enjoyed fresh from the frying pan, though they can be kept soft by stacking them under a clean tea towel. Whether you are hosting a dinner party or looking for a wholesome homemade alternative to shop-bought wraps, this versatile recipe is sure to become a staple in your kitchen.

Ingredients for Algerian Flatbread

  • 375g finely ground whole-wheat flour (preferably Indian atta or King Arthur whole-wheat)

  • 1 colher de chá de sal

  • 120ml de azeite de oliva, dividido

  • 350ml de água

  • 1 colher de chá de cominho em pó

  • 1 colher de chá de páprica doce

  • 1 teaspoon turmeric

Stir together flour, salt, and 2 tablespoons oil in a large bowl. Slowly stir in water until a soft dough forms. If necessary, add more water 1 tablespoon at a time. Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead, dusting with just enough flour to keep dough from sticking, until smooth and elastic, about 15 minutes.

Form dough into a ball and coat with 2 tablespoons oil in a bowl. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let dough stand at warm room temperature 1 hour.

Stir together cumin, paprika, turmeric, and remaining 60ml oil in a small bowl.

Divide dough into 12 equal pieces and, keeping remaining pieces covered with plastic wrap, flatten 1 piece of dough into a disk. Roll out disk as thinly as possible (into a 9-inch round) on a lightly floured surface with a 6-inch wooden dowel or a rolling pin. Spread 1 teaspoon spiced oil on dough with your fingertips, then roll up tightly into a long cylinder and coil into a tight spiral. Transfer to a large sheet of parchment paper, then loosely cover with plastic wrap.

Make 11 more spirals in same manner.

Tape another sheet of parchment to a work surface and on it roll out 1 spiral of dough into a round approximately 6 inches in diameter. Heat a dry large cast-iron skillet or griddle over medium heat until hot, then cook flatbread, turning once, until puffed and browned in spots, 3 to 4 minutes total. Transfer to a plate and cover with a kitchen towel. Roll out and cook 11 more flatbreads, stacking them on plate.
