Add the dry ingredients (i.e. flour, salt, sugar, baking powder & herbs) to a large mixing bowl. Mix dry ingredients together. This helps to spread out the baking powder and prevents small pockets of baking powder being found in the finished bread.
Soften butter in a microwave.
Add wet ingredients (i.e. milk and melted butter) to the mixing bowl. Stir thoroughly with a large spoon.
Use your hands to knead the dough together for 1 or 2 minutes in order to create a nice ball of dough.
Sprinkle some flour on a cutting board in order to prevent the dough sticking to the cutting board (when you roll out the dough).
Place the dough of the cutting board.
Sprinkle a small amount of flour on top of the dough (in order to prevent the dough sticking to the rolling pin).
Use a rolling pin to roll the dough flat. The dough should be no more than 1/8 inch high.
Use a large cookie cutter (or small cake ring) to create circular flatbreads. Or cut the dough with a knife diagonally & vertically (in a tic-tac-toe fashion) in order to create square flatbreads. Use tips below for more information on shaping the skillet flatbread.
Add 1 or 2 tablespoons of oil or butter to a frying pan.
Heat the frying pan with low/medium heat (halfway between the low and medium setting on your range dial).
Place the flatbread dough in to the frying pan. The amount of flatbread that can fit in your frying pan depends on the size of the frying pan & flatbreads.
Flip all of the flatbreads in the pan every minute in order to prevent burning. Remove the flatbreads from the frying pan when golden brown on both sides. It should take only 2-4 minutes to fry each batch of flatbread (so you need to watch the frying pan carefully... don't step away from the pan or they will burn).
Add another 1 or 2 tablespoons of oil or butter to the frying pan when you fry a new batch of flatbreads.
Place the skillet flatbread on a wire cooling rack.
Serve while still warm.
