Flat Bread

This has to be the best bread recipe ever... I mean, ever.

In one bowl mix 2 c flour, 1 tsp salt, and 1 1/2 tsp baking powder. Set aside.
In another bowl, mix 2 tsp olive oil and 3/4 c warm water.
Add oil/water mixture to flour mixture 1 T at a time, mixing with a fork. ( I don't know why, but this may be the secret).
Knead dough, adding flour if the dough is too sticky (and it always is, so why don't recipes just increase the amount of flour?)
Cover with a damp towel and let rest for 20 min. Read a book.
Divide dough into 8 golf ball sized balls. Cover and let rest for 10 min. Check your email.
Roll out each ball on a floured surface into thin tortilla shapes.
Bake on a griddle or skillet (sprayed with Pam) for about 30 seconds on each side. When one side begins to bubble, it's ready to be flipped.
As soon as they come off the griddle, place into a gallon bag to keep soft.

Perfect with any kind of dip...also good for fajitas...or just to eat.
